Magento Open Source delivers all the basic eCommerce capabilities and allows you to build a unique online store from the ground up. However, if you’re ready for a fully featured eCommerce solution, we recommend our cloud-based Adobe Commerce software, which includes optimized cloud architecture and hosting as well as AI-powered merchandising and analytics.
Magento Open Source gives you everything you need to get started. However, Adobe Commerce is an all-in-one cloud solution optimized for Adobe Commerce websites, easy to deploy, enhanced security, and packed with additional integrated capabilities to accelerate sales.

As a cost-effective route onto an open-source eCommerce platform, Magento Open Source powered by Adobe Commerce offers a flexible and feature-rich platform for eCommerce brands. With a global presence for over 10 years, Magento Open Source remains a strong candidate for those looking for a lower cost Enterprise level eCommerce platform.
Originally referred to as Magento Community Edition, the license-free version of Magento became Magento Open Source in 2017. Following the Adobe acquisition of Magento, it has kept its Open Source name and is still used by sizeable retailers.
One of the biggest feature updates in recent times was the Magento 2.4.3 release, where Magento Page Builder was added to the Open Source platform. Rather than relying on coding knowledge, page builders provide a visual and simple way of creating pages. More details can be found in our blog post here.
