Odoo.sh vs EasyInstance: Lower Per-Worker Hosting Rates
Both EasyInstance and Odoo.sh bill usage-based — per worker, per GB of storage. The difference is the rate card: EasyInstance charges less per worker, more per GB (with the first 5 GB free). Here’s exactly what each Odoo host costs and includes.
Quick verdict
- EasyInstance: $30/worker/mo + $0.80/GB/mo (first 5 GB free). Odoo.sh: $57.6/worker/mo + $0.20/GB/mo, no free storage.
- For typical instances (moderate storage per worker), EasyInstance comes out cheaper — see the worked examples below.
- Odoo.sh’s lower per-GB rate means a storage-heavy, worker-light instance can end up cheaper there — we show that crossover honestly below rather than hide it.
- Odoo.sh has no public self-serve free trial; a 30-day trial requires a partner subscription code. EasyInstance starts every signup with a 10-day free trial, no card required.
- Odoo’s Enterprise license (~$61/user/month in the US) is billed separately by Odoo S.A. on top of hosting — true whether you host on Odoo.sh, EasyInstance, or anywhere else.

Deploying an Odoo instance, on each host.
Two very different paths to a live Odoo hosting environment.
EasyInstance — click to live
Click “New instance.”
Pick workers, storage, and region.
Live in under 60 seconds — URL, SSL, and backups already configured.
Odoo.sh — Git-based workflow
Create a project and connect a GitHub repository.
Push a feature branch — a Development server builds automatically.
Promote to a Staging branch to test the change with real data.
Merge to the production branch (git merge + git push) to deploy.

Insy vs. Odoo.sh’s AI tooling.
Insy ships free on every EasyInstance instance, no add-on pricing — here’s what it actually does next to what Odoo.sh publishes.

Odoo.sh publishes no comparable natural-language data assistant on its own site — no chat interface for questions, reports, dashboards, or record updates.
What it does offer is SSH access and an Online Editor, both aimed at a developer editing code directly, not a business user asking a question.
If your team wants to ask “what were last month’s top products” without writing a query, that capability doesn’t exist on Odoo.sh today.
What each host costs, worked out at the same specs.
Computed directly from each host’s own rate card — before the Odoo Enterprise license, which is identical no matter which host you pick.
| Spec | EasyInstance | Odoo.sh (Shared) |
|---|---|---|
| Light — 1 worker, 5 GB | $30.00/mo | $58.60/mo |
| Typical — 2 workers, 20 GB | $72.00/mo | $119.20/mo |
| Growing team — 4 workers, 50 GB | $156.00/mo | $240.40/mo |
| Storage-heavy — 1 worker, 300 GB | $266.00/mo | $117.60/mo — cheaper here |
EasyInstance: $30/worker + $0.80/GB (first 5 GB free). Odoo.sh (Shared, monthly billing): $57.6/worker + $0.20/GB — odoo.sh, checked Aug 2026. Neither column includes Odoo’s Enterprise per-user license (~$61/user/month in the US, odoo.com), which is billed separately by Odoo S.A. and applies on top of hosting from any provider if you use Enterprise edition.
Because EasyInstance’s per-GB rate is 4× Odoo.sh’s, a storage-heavy instance with few workers — large attachments stored in the database, no object-storage offload — can end up cheaper on Odoo.sh, as the last row shows. Most Odoo instances aren’t storage-heavy relative to worker count, so the typical case favors EasyInstance, but check your own storage-per-worker ratio rather than take that on faith.
Who typically looks for an Odoo.sh alternative.
Odoo hosting needs change with team size — here’s roughly what each looks like on EasyInstance’s rate card.
Running one or two client instances
Predictable, low-worker setups — 1–2 workers, modest storage — where a lower per-worker rate matters most.
Managing Odoo for multiple clients
Staging environments and GitHub auto-sync let you test a module change before it touches a client’s live Odoo instance.
Running Odoo across departments or regions
Higher worker counts and larger storage — talk to us for volume pricing beyond the self-serve calculator.
Moving your Odoo instance off Odoo.sh, in four steps.
The general Odoo backup/restore path for migrating between hosts.
Export & deploy
Take a full database and filestore backup from Odoo.sh’s admin panel.
Create a new EasyInstance deploy sized to your worker/storage needs.
Test & go live
Restore the backup into a staging environment and verify modules and integrations.
Point your domain at the new instance; SSL provisions automatically.
These steps describe the general Odoo backup/restore path, not an automated migration tool — contact us if you want help planning a move.
