OEC.sh vs EasyInstance: One Bill Instead of Two
OEC.sh manages your Odoo instance on cloud infrastructure you connect and pay for separately — its own platform fee sits on top of that bill. EasyInstance is fully managed, usage-based Odoo hosting at one all-in price: no second cloud invoice to track, no server to patch yourself.
Quick verdict
- EasyInstance switched entirely to usage-based pricing: $30/worker/month + $0.80/GB/month, first 5 GB free — no more fixed tiers.
- OEC.sh’s platform fee ($0–$199/mo across four tiers) is billed separately from your own cloud provider’s invoice for compute and storage.
- Because OEC.sh’s total cost depends on the cloud provider and server size you pick, it isn’t a single number the way EasyInstance’s rate is — see the worked examples below.
- OEC.sh does ship real AI tooling — an "AI Dev Mode" (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI) on its Pro tier and up — but it’s a developer coding sidecar, not a business-user assistant like Insy.
Fully managed Odoo hosting vs. bring-your-own-cloud.
EasyInstance figures reflect its current usage-based pricing. OEC.sh figures sourced from oec.sh, checked August 2026.
| EasyInstance | OEC.sh | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing & infrastructure | ||
| Hosting model | Fully managed — EasyInstance owns and operates the server | Bring your own cloud — you connect AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Hetzner, Vultr, Linode, OVH, or a custom server; OEC.sh deploys and manages Odoo on it |
| Pricing model | Usage-based — per worker, per GB storage | Flat platform fee by tier, plus your own cloud provider’s bill for compute and storage |
| Platform cost | $30/worker/mo + $0.80/GB/mo (first 5 GB free) | Free $0 · Starter $19/mo · Pro $39/mo · Agency $199/mo — cloud costs billed separately by your provider |
| Per-user fee | None | None — cloud costs billed by your provider, not per user |
| Backups & deploys | ||
| Backup frequency | Daily, automated | Daily, automated |
| Backup retention | Configurable | 7 days on Free; GFS (daily/weekly/monthly) retention on paid tiers |
| Git-based deploys | Yes — GitHub auto-sync included, no add-on or tier gate | Yes — GitHub and GitLab integration, from the Free tier up |
| Time to a live instance | Under 60 seconds | Not published — OEC.sh markets one-click deploys but does not state a deploy duration |
| AI & automation | ||
| AI data assistant | Insy — business-user assistant, included on every instance | "AI Dev Mode" — Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI in a project dev terminal, Pro plan and up (bring your own API key) |
| Addon / module marketplace | Built-in, 14 categories, one click | No storefront — Git-based "Addon Repositories" (your own repos, OCA, or the Odoo Enterprise repo) |
| Python / system package installer | Yes — one click | Yes — automatic via requirements.txt and apt.txt at deploy time |
| Support | ||
| Support level | Not published | Business-hours email; faster response on Agency and Enterprise tiers — exact SLA not uniformly published |

Insy vs. OEC.sh’s AI dev sidecar.
This is the widest capability gap on this page. OEC.sh does ship real AI tooling — it’s just built for a different person than the one asking about this quarter’s sales.
Insy — a business-user Odoo assistant, included on every instance
- 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 pricing.
See everything Insy can do →OEC.sh’s "AI Dev Mode"
On its Pro plan ($39/mo) and up, OEC.sh pre-installs Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex CLI in a project-level dev terminal, with your Odoo addon source already mounted — you bring your own API key for whichever tool you use (source: oec.sh).
It’s built for a developer writing or debugging custom Odoo modules — not for a sales manager, accountant, or ops lead who just wants an answer. It also isn’t included on OEC.sh’s Free or Starter tiers.
It can’t print a report, build a dashboard, or update a record from chat — there’s no natural-language business interface at all.
Who typically looks for an OEC.sh alternative.
OEC.sh appeals to teams that want to own their cloud account and infrastructure choices. Here’s roughly what the same workload costs on EasyInstance’s rate card if you’d rather not manage a server at all.
Running one or two client instances
Predictable, low-worker setups — 1–2 workers, modest storage — where not having to size, patch, or renew SSL on your own cloud server matters most.
Managing Odoo for multiple clients
GitHub auto-sync is included on every instance, so you can test a module change before it touches a client’s live Odoo instance — without also managing cloud accounts per client.
Running Odoo across departments or regions
Higher worker counts and larger storage — talk to us for volume pricing beyond the self-serve calculator.
