Compare with OEC.sh: One Bill Instead of Two
OEC.sh manages your Odoo instance on cloud infrastructure you connect and pay for separately. EasyInstance is fully managed Odoo hosting at one all-in price — no second cloud bill to track, no server to patch yourself.
Quick verdict
- OEC.sh’s platform fee ($0–$199/mo) is billed separately from your own cloud provider’s bill for compute and storage.
- EasyInstance’s price is all-in: one plan, one invoice, hosting and backups included.
- OEC.sh does ship real AI tooling — a developer coding sidecar, not a business-user assistant like Insy.

Connect a cloud first, or just click deploy.
OEC.sh’s own claim is “live in under 5 minutes” — after your cloud account is already connected.
EasyInstance — click to live
Click “New instance.”
Pick a plan and region.
Live in under 60 seconds — URL, SSL, and backups already configured.
OEC.sh — bring your own cloud

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 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.
See everything Insy can do →OEC.sh’s AI dev sidecar
OEC.sh pre-installs Claude Code and Cursor in a project-level dev terminal, with your Odoo addon source already mounted (source: oec.sh/features).
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 can’t print a report, build a dashboard, or update a record from chat — there’s no natural-language business interface at all.
