Now, OpenProject has been awarded among the top 5 of open source project management software. Capterra writes: “only 4.3% of available project management tools made the cut.

OpenProject Community vs Enterprise edition
The OpenProject Community edition is free and does not cost a penny. You can download and install it. The easiest way would be an installation via RPM/Deb Packages or with Docker installation. The Community version includes all project management features and high security standards. If you want to add more powerful Enterprise add-ons, such as the upload of an own logo and the configuration of colors, or add additional security features, such as two-factor authentication, you can upgrade to the Enterprise edition. You will also get maintenance and support based on a SLA. Also, the Enterprise edition is 100% open source. The money we make with the Enterprise edition will go back directly into the development of the software.
