Odoo Enterprise is lower by $320,850 (expected 5-year cost). The whole gap is licences ($51,990 vs $372,840 over 5 years); implementation, integrations, internal time and support are identical because the same inputs and assumptions apply to both. The low–high ranges overlap: implementation hours are a wide range for both, so a cheap project on the dearer system can cost less than an expensive project on the cheaper one. The licence difference is the firm part.
