As a Magento 2 Trained Solution Partner, one of the most common questions we get from prospects considering a switch to Magento is what’s the difference between Magento Commerce and Magento Open Source, and why they should consider one over the other.

The answer is quite simple and primarily relates to the feature set each version provides. Since at the very basis, the key difference between Magento Commerce and Magento Open Source (aside from the fact that Magento Open Source is free while the latter is not) is the feature set each version offers.

In this post, we’ll take an in depth look at the features both Magento Open Source and Magento Commerce offer. So if you’re considering building your web store on Magento but are on the fence about which version is for you, this post is for you.
