The results were extremely disappointing.
I did the same test with a couple of other sites, on other niches, I expected better results with photo optimized on server, but no.

What results are you referring to? The loading speed? The bandwidth costs? The output image?
Hosting the images yourself from your server is *the* frugal option. You're already paying for those resources. Put cloudflare.com (CDN) in front of your site and tell it to cache images as long as possible.
Hosting images on a free host is a strict downgrade.
