## What is the Meilisearch Community Edition?
7+
8+
The Meilisearch Community Edition (CE) is a free version of Meilisearch. It offers all essential Meilisearch features, such as full-text search and AI-powered search, under an MIT license.
9+
10+
## What is the Meilisearch Enterprise Edition?
11+
12+
The Enterprise Edition (EE) is a version of Meilisearch with advanced features. It is available under a BUSL license and cannot be freely used in production. EE is the Meilisearch version that powers Meilisearch Cloud.
13+
14+
The only feature exclusive to the Enterprise Edition is [sharding](/learn/multi_search/implement_sharding).
15+
16+
## When should you use each edition?
17+
18+
In most cases, using Meilisearch Cloud is the recommended way of integrating Meilisearch with your application.
19+
20+
Use the Meilisearch Community Edition when you want to host Meilisearch independently.
21+
22+
Meilisearch makes the Enterprise Edition binaries available for testing EE-only features before committing to a Meilisearch Cloud plan. If you want to self-host the Enterprise Edition in a production environment, [contact the sales team](mailto:[email protected]).
