Where Skysize gets restrictive
Here are 7 limitations you’ll encounter with Skysize, and how Cloudpepper beats them.
Server ownership

Staging environments
- Skysize: 1 staging environment on the Launch plan. Only expandable to 5 with higher subscriptions.
- Cloudpepper: 1 staging environment on the Base plan. Unlimited staging environments from the Pro subscription.
Partner margin

- Cloudpepper: A white-label structure that lets you sell under your own brand, set your own pricing, and keep 87.9% of every sale.
Database tuning
- Skysize: Does not provide autonomous AI-native query or database tuning.
- Cloudpepper: Supports AI-native query and database tuning for PostgreSQL and Odoo environments.
Free trial

Cloudpepper gives you more value for money

- 20 GB storage & backups
- 3 workers
- 99.95% SLA

Cloudpepper also offers a selection of fast Odoo-optimized servers you can choose from, and each comes with added features and extra headroom:
| Server tier | Added cost (total) | Workers | Users | vCPU | RAM | NVMe storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small | +$12/mo ($41/mo) | 2 | Up to 50 | 1 | 2 GB | 50 GB |
| Medium | +$24/mo ($53/mo) | 5 | Up to 125 | 2 | 4 GB | 100 GB |
| Large | +$48/mo ($77/mo) | 9 | Up to 225 | 4 | 8 GB | 180 GB |

| XXL | +$144/mo ($173/mo) | 25 | 625+ | 12 | 24 GB | 500 GB |
The Base plan is Cloudpepper’s management layer: you connect either your own server or one of the Cloudpepper servers above. To match what Skysize’s Launch plan offers (25 users, 3 workers, 20 GB storage), pair the Base plan with the Medium server, for $53/month total.
That comes in at $26/month below Skysize’s $79/month Launch plan ($79 − $53), while beating it on every spec:
- 5 workers vs Skysize’s 3
- 100 GB NVMe storage vs 20 GB
- Up to 125 users vs 25
