EenOS is a modern, feature‑rich panel — Node.js and Python apps, OpenLiteSpeed with Varnish, MongoDB, and a ModSecurity WAF, all out of the box. BeAdmin keeps a free core, charges only for the modules you switch on, runs on Debian or Ubuntu, and ships a VPN. Below — where the two really differ, said plainly.

BroaderEenOS is a paid panel — plans start at $15/mo with a 14‑day trial and no forever‑free tier. BeAdmin keeps a free core and charges only for the modules you switch on, from $1/mo. No subscription, no trial clock.
Xray, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline and Amnezia are modules in the same UI. EenOS ships no VPN — that part you would build and run yourself.
EenOS runs stably on Ubuntu 22.04 today, with the RHEL family still in testing. BeAdmin targets both Debian and Ubuntu, so a Debian box is a first‑class home.
EenOS is broader — Node/Python, OpenLiteSpeed, MongoDB and a WAF out of the box, and we credit that. BeAdmin stays lean: a free core, a VPN, and modules you add only when you need them.
Values pulled from each panel’s public docs. EenOS is the broader platform — Node/Python apps, OpenLiteSpeed with Varnish, MongoDB, a WAF and antivirus; BeAdmin is lighter, free at the core and ships a VPN. We mark each row plainly, including the many that EenOS wins.
EenOS is paid — plans start at $15/mo on a 14‑day trial, with no forever‑free tier. BeAdmin keeps the core free and charges only for the modules you switch on, from $1/mo, with no subscription and no trial clock.
Xray, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline, Amnezia — turn any of them on with a single click. EenOS has no VPN at all; you would build and maintain that part yourself outside the panel.
EenOS runs stably on Ubuntu 22.04, with the RHEL family still in testing. BeAdmin runs natively on both Debian and Ubuntu, so you are not tied to a single distribution.
EenOS gives you 14 days before the bill starts. BeAdmin’s core is free for good, no account required — try it on a real server with no clock running and no card on file.
EenOS is the broader, more feature‑rich platform; BeAdmin is lighter, free at the core and ships a VPN. Synthesised from public docs and our own usage — your mileage may vary.
EenOS charges a monthly licence per server. BeAdmin keeps a free core and bills only for the modules you switch on.
From 1 €/mo. Enable only what you need, disable any time — no domain cap. The VPN family lives here.

A 14‑day trial unlocks the panel before billing begins, but there is no forever‑free tier. Exact annual rates may differ — check eenos.com for current pricing.

The smallest VPS each panel will comfortably run on. EenOS does not publish a floor, so its figures are best estimates.

If EenOS runs on Ubuntu, no OS switch is needed. The old panel stays up until you retire it.
EenOS runs on Ubuntu 22.04, so on Ubuntu you can move without changing the OS family. One apt command brings up the free BeAdmin core — run it alongside EenOS and switch over only when ready.
Transfer vhost configs, databases (mysqldump) and mailboxes manually or with your own scripts. BeAdmin does not import EenOS backups directly, and Node.js/Python apps and MongoDB data do not move — that is an honest gap, not a marketing trick. PostgreSQL has to wait for the upcoming module.
Flip DNS when you are comfortable. If anything looks off, revert DNS to the old server — the rollback is just one record change.
EenOS is a strong, modern panel, and if Node/Python apps, OpenLiteSpeed or its security stack are central to you, it is a good choice. The case for BeAdmin is cost and the VPN: a free core plus modules from 1 €/mo against a $15/mo subscription with only a 14‑day trial, plus five built‑in VPN protocols and a Debian‑friendly base. If those matter, the comparison above shows the differences plainly.
No. EenOS ships no VPN, so you would set one up and maintain it yourself outside the panel. BeAdmin includes five protocols — Xray, WireGuard, OpenVPN, Outline and Amnezia — as modules in the same UI, each enabled with a single click.
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Managed Node.js and Python apps, OpenLiteSpeed with Varnish, and MongoDB are genuine EenOS strengths that BeAdmin does not match. BeAdmin focuses on a free PHP‑first stack, a built‑in VPN and modules you add only when you need them.
EenOS ships those out of the box — a ModSecurity WAF, brute‑force detection, ClamAV and SpamAssassin — and its security stack is broader than ours. BeAdmin does not bundle them yet. Its differentiators are cost, the forever‑free core and the built‑in VPN, not security breadth.
EenOS gives a 14‑day trial, then billing starts at $15/mo. BeAdmin keeps a free core forever, with no account or card required — you pay only for the modules you switch on, from 1 €/mo. The VPN family and other add‑ons live there.
The panel core is free. Pay only for the modules you connect.
