FluxBilling vs EasyDCIM
EasyDCIM is DCIM-first and usually runs next to a separate biller. FluxBilling holds racks, IPAM and invoices in one PostgreSQL schema, so there is no second licence and no sync job. Plans start at €4.95/mo with DCIM and every payment gateway included. This page compares scope, depth and cost.

EasyDCIM and FluxBilling overlap on data-centre inventory but start from opposite ends. EasyDCIM is DCIM-first — racks, assets, IPMI control, IP address management — and is commonly deployed alongside a separate billing system, which means two licences, two schemas and a synchronisation job between them. FluxBilling puts DCIM and billing in one PostgreSQL schema: a rack unit, the device in it, the IP allocated to it, the service it belongs to and the invoice it appears on are joined records, not synced copies. Racks and U-positions, cabling, IPv4 and IPv6 IPAM, power and PDU monitoring, usage-based metering, EU VAT and every payment gateway are included in every plan. Plans start at €4.95/mo and run to €44.95/mo, with bare-metal capacity from 5 to 150 servers and extra servers at €0.75 each per month. Self-hosting is a €1,495 one-time add-on.
One platform, or a DCIM tool plus a biller.
The inventory rows are close. The difference is what sits next to them — and whether the invoice for a rack unit lives in the same database as the rack unit.

Depth in its own lane. EasyDCIM has spent years on inventory and device control specifically, and operators who live in asset lifecycle, IPMI-level device workflows and hardware auditing know exactly which screens they need. If your billing stack already works and the only gap is data-centre inventory, adding FluxBilling means replacing the biller too — a much larger change than buying a DCIM tool that plugs into what you have.
The existing integration path matters as well. EasyDCIM is routinely paired with an established biller, and that combination is well trodden with documented connectors and people who have run it. FluxBilling is in open beta and asks you to consolidate both halves at once. The trade is fewer moving parts and one licence against a younger platform — worth it when the sync job between your biller and your inventory is already a source of incidents, not worth it when it quietly works.
FluxBilling vs EasyDCIM, answered directly.
01.Is FluxBilling a replacement for EasyDCIM?
It replaces the pair, not just one half. EasyDCIM is DCIM-first — racks, assets, IPMI control and IP management — and providers typically run it next to a separate billing system. FluxBilling holds racks and U-positions, cabling, IPv4 and IPv6 IPAM, power and PDU monitoring, invoicing, dunning, multi-currency and EU VAT in a single PostgreSQL schema, so there is one licence and no synchronisation job between inventory and billing.
02.What does "one schema" actually change day to day?
A rack unit, the device installed in it, the IP allocated to that device, the service the customer bought and the invoice line it appears on are joined rows in the same database. Querying them is a join rather than an export. When a device is decommissioned, the IP release, the service state and the billing consequence are the same transaction rather than three systems reconciled on a schedule.
03.How much does FluxBilling cost compared to EasyDCIM plus a biller?
FluxBilling is one flat price per tier: Lite €4.95/mo (10 clients, 5 bare-metal servers), Plus €14.95/mo (250 clients, 50 servers), Professional €24.95/mo (500 clients, 100 servers), Business €44.95/mo (unlimited clients, 150 servers). Extra bare-metal capacity is €0.75 per server per month. Because billing, DCIM, IPAM, metering and every payment gateway are in the plan, the comparison is against the combined cost of a DCIM licence plus a billing licence plus whatever glue holds them together.
04.Can FluxBilling handle bare metal at scale?
Tiers carry bare-metal capacity from 5 servers on Lite to 150 on Business, with additional servers at €0.75 per server per month. Beyond roughly 2,000 servers or where a contracted SLA is required, pricing moves to a custom quote rather than a published tier.
05.Do I have to migrate everything at once?
No. The packaged importer that ships in core is the WHMCS Importer, and it supports a dry-run so you can see exactly what would be written before anything is; it is idempotent and resumable, so a run can be interrupted and restarted without duplicating records. Inventory coming from EasyDCIM is scoped from an export with the team rather than imported by a one-click tool — open a ticket with your rack and device counts.
06.Can I try FluxBilling before committing to a plan?
There is no trial licence and no scheduled demo call. Every plan carries a 14-day refund window and can be cancelled at any time, so the evaluation happens on a real instance with your own racks and clients. FluxBilling is currently in open beta.
