ezhost vs Cloudron
Comparatif honnête · prix vérifiés July 4, 2026 · corrections : support@ezhost.app
Cloudron is software you install on your own server: an app store, updates and backups for 100+ open-source apps — but the server, and the responsibility for it, is yours. ezhost runs everything for you. The comparison is really «self-managed vs managed».
Face à face
| Cloudron | ezhost | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Software subscription (Free: 2 apps; Pro: unlimited apps, €15–30/mo depending on billing) — plus your own server | Flat plans, multiple apps per plan (€9 / €19 / €39 / €79 per month) |
| Server | You rent, secure and monitor it yourself (typically €5–20/mo extra) | Included — we run, patch and monitor the infrastructure |
| If the server fails | Your problem (that is the deal, and Cloudron is honest about it) | Our problem — that is what you pay for |
| Many apps | Very cost-effective: unlimited apps on one server | RAM budget per plan; bigger plans for more apps |
| Control | Full root access, your machine, your rules | You own your data and can export anytime, but we run the stack |
| Trial | Free plan (2 apps) — genuinely free forever | Free trial, 1 app, no credit card |
La part d’honnêteté
If you are technical and want many apps, Cloudron on a cheap VPS is better value than ezhost — genuinely. ezhost exists for everyone who read «your own server» above and felt tired. Same open-source apps, opposite responsibility model.
