Compare every feature
The apps are the same in all three. What changes is whether you pay, whether there is a license in your name, and whether you get the cloud.

The cloud features open with the cloud service; until then, every option works on your own files. The apps are identical in Community and with a license: every app and every feature, for any work. A commercial license adds the cloud service, because storing your drawings costs us real money. Exporting a copy to your own computer is always free. See what a license costs.
