DafeApp vs Odoo.sh
Odoo.sh bills per user and per project. DafeApp bills per platform and runs on a server you own. How much that saves depends entirely on one thing — whether you keep Odoo Enterprise licences — so here are the three cases separately rather than one flattering average.
You keep Odoo Enterprise and its per-user licences, which cost the same whoever hosts you. Only the hosting changes — so this is the honest floor: a large cut to the part you control, a modest cut to the bill.
Community is free and complete for many businesses. This is where the large saving actually comes from — dropping per-user licences, not changing host.
Odoo.sh prices every project separately, workers and all. Here the databases share servers, so the hosting gap widens with each client rather than with each user.
Ten users, one medium database, Odoo.sh list pricing as published in 2026; your quote may differ with a partner discount. Two percentages because they answer different questions: Enterprise licences cost the same whoever hosts you, so the first case cuts the hosting sharply while barely moving the total — which is why the total is the honest floor and the hosting figure is the one you can act on. The larger totals come from dropping to Community or from running several databases. Run your own numbers →
Where Odoo.sh is the better choice
You want Odoo accountable for the platform. On Odoo.sh, the company that writes Odoo also runs the infrastructure. When something breaks in a way that is ambiguous between the two, that is one conversation instead of two. No third-party panel can offer that, and for some teams it settles it.
You are deep in their build workflow. Odoo.sh builds a fresh database per branch on every push. If your team has built its process around that, replicating it elsewhere is work.
Nobody on your side wants a server. DafeApp removes almost all of the administration, but the machine is still yours — and that is the point, not an oversight. If you would rather it were somebody else's problem entirely, Odoo.sh is honest value.
Where DafeApp wins
Adding your eleventh user changes your Odoo.sh bill. It does not change your DafeApp bill. The gap widens every time you hire.
Any Ubuntu VPS — Hetzner, Contabo, DigitalOcean, AWS, or your own rack. You keep root, you keep the data, and leaving is a DNS change rather than a project.
Odoo.sh is priced and shaped around one project. DafeApp runs as many instances as the box will carry, and Odoo 17, 18 and 19 can sit side by side — which is what a migration actually needs.
A PostgreSQL dump and a filestore archive, in your own S3-compatible storage. Restorable with standard tools whether or not DafeApp is in the picture.

Moving across
Download a backup from your Odoo.sh project, upload the ZIP to DafeApp, and it restores the database and filestore onto your server. Custom add-ons come over by connecting the same Git repository you already deploy from — the branch is tracked, so pushes keep working the way they did.
Two things worth doing before you switch the DNS. Restore into a second instance first and log into it, because a backup you have not restored is a hope rather than a plan. And check the filestore came across, not just the database: an export can carry a complete SQL dump and an incomplete set of attachments, and that only surfaces weeks later as missing invoice PDFs.
Frequently asked
What does Odoo.sh actually cost?
Odoo.sh is billed as Odoo Enterprise users plus platform workers. Ten users with a single worker is roughly $390 a month at list price, and it rises with every user you add — the cost scales with your headcount rather than with the load your database actually puts on a server.
Is DafeApp an official Odoo product?
No. DafeApp is an independent deployment platform for self-hosted Odoo, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Odoo S.A. Odoo.sh is Odoo's own hosting.
Can I move from Odoo.sh to DafeApp?
Yes. Take a backup from Odoo.sh, upload the ZIP, and DafeApp restores the database and filestore onto your server. Custom add-ons come across by connecting the same Git repository you already use.
What do I lose by leaving Odoo.sh?
Odoo's own support relationship, and the build-per-commit workflow tied to their platform. If your team relies on Odoo's engineers answering tickets, that is a real cost worth weighing against the price difference.
