Cloudpepper vs EasyInstance: Usage-Based Pricing, No Server Bill to Add
Cloudpepper charges a platform fee — €29 to €250/month — on top of a server you either bring yourself or buy from them separately (from €12/month). EasyInstance charges one usage-based rate: $30/worker/month plus $0.80/GB/month of storage (the first 5 GB free), hosting included, no server line item, ever.
Quick verdict
- Cloudpepper's platform fee (€29–€250/mo) never includes a server — its own pricing page publishes Pro (€49/mo) plus a managed server (€12–€144/mo) for an all-in total of €61–€193/mo.
- Cloudpepper does sell its own managed servers as an add-on, so a single Cloudpepper invoice is possible if you want one — you're not forced to bring your own cloud.
- EasyInstance is always usage-based and all-in: $30/worker + $0.80/GB, no separate server bill, no fixed tier to outgrow.
- Cloudpepper's prices are published in EUR, EasyInstance's in USD — we haven't converted between them anywhere below, since exchange rates move; compare the underlying rate cards, not a single converted number.
- Cloudpepper ships MCP access for automating the platform itself (Pro and Agency) — a developer tool, not a business-user assistant like Insy.

What each rate card actually costs, worked out.
EasyInstance's numbers come straight from its usage-based rate card. Cloudpepper doesn't price by worker count, so there's no equivalent row to place beside these — its own published bundle totals are shown separately below, in the currency it publishes them in (EUR).
| Spec | EasyInstance | Cloudpepper |
|---|---|---|
| Light — 1 worker, 5 GB | $30.00/mo | N/A — priced by server size, not worker count (see below) |
| Typical — 2 workers, 20 GB | $72.00/mo | N/A — priced by server size, not worker count (see below) |
| Growing team — 4 workers, 50 GB | $156.00/mo | N/A — priced by server size, not worker count (see below) |
EasyInstance: $30/worker + $0.80/GB (first 5 GB free) — no server bill, ever.
Cloudpepper's own published bundle pricing
- Small server (1 vCPU / 2GB RAM / 50GB NVMe) + Pro: €61/mo total, per cloudpepper.io/pricing
- Medium server + Pro: €73/mo total, per cloudpepper.io/pricing
- Large server + Pro: €97/mo total, per cloudpepper.io/pricing
- These are Cloudpepper's own "Pro plus their managed server" examples — in EUR, excl. VAT. If you bring your own cloud server instead, only the €49/mo Pro platform fee applies here, and your total also includes whatever that server costs from your chosen provider (AWS, DigitalOcean, or others) — a number that depends entirely on your choice, not on Cloudpepper.
- We haven't converted these EUR figures to USD for a side-by-side number against EasyInstance's dollar pricing — exchange rates move, and a single converted figure would look more precise than it is. Compare the rate cards, not a snapshot conversion.
Insy vs. Cloudpepper's MCP access.
Cloudpepper does ship a real automation interface too — just aimed at a different person than the one asking about this quarter's sales.
Insy — a business-user Odoo assistant, included on every plan
- Natural language queriesAsk anything about your Odoo data in plain English — Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Accounting, HR, CRM, and your custom addons are all covered, no SQL and no Python.
- Report printingPrint any Odoo report just by naming it, including bulk runs like “print all March payslips” — custom QWeb templates are picked up automatically.
- Live KPI dashboardsDescribe the metrics you want and Insy builds a dashboard from live data, shareable via a read-only link — no Odoo login required for viewers.
- Business insightsTrend analysis and anomaly detection across Sales, Inventory, Accounting, and HR, surfaced on its own or whenever you ask.
- Workflow automationCreate records, update fields, trigger approvals, and send emails from chat — every action is confirmed before it’s applied.
- MultilingualAsk in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, or 40+ other languages — Insy replies in the same one.
Zero setup — Insy is already connected to your Odoo instance the moment you deploy. No API keys, no integration project, no add-on price.
See everything Insy can do →Cloudpepper's MCP access
Cloudpepper's Pro plan includes MCP access at what its pricing page calls “standard throughput,” and Agency adds full REST API access plus “agency throughput” — neither tier publishes an exact request-rate number (source: cloudpepper.io/pricing).
It's built for automating the platform itself — provisioning instances, managing client environments — not for asking questions about your Odoo data.
It can't print a report, build a dashboard, or answer a plain-English question about your Odoo records — there's no business-user chat interface at all.
