Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · $12.41/mo (2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU)
Azure's B1ms at $12.41/mo is competitively priced for 2GB RAM, but Scaleway undercuts it at $11/mo with identical specs and included storage. However, Scaleway's dev-only tier lacks HA and production SLA guarantees, making it suitable only for non-critical workloads. For production use, Azure remains a solid choice, though Fly.io and Render offer more feature-rich alternatives if you can absorb higher monthly costs.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 1vCPU/1GB (0 rep) | $15/mo | 1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25 GB | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · Valkey Basic 1GB | $15/mo |
Includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out of the box; 2 vCPU shared allocation provides better burst capacity than Azure's single vCore.
Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing varies; no published platform SLA; total cost significantly higher than Azure baseline.
Includes automated backups and managed infrastructure; transparent per-second billing avoids surprise charges.
Caveat: Only 0.5 vCPU (shared/fractional); storage overages at $0.30/GB/month; persistent disk billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; 99.95% SLA below Azure's implied tier.
Simple, transparent pricing with 99.99% SLA; 10GB disk included; straightforward bandwidth overage model ($0.01/GB).
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM (half of Azure); Valkey (Redis-compatible) is not PostgreSQL; less suitable if you need relational database features.
Includes 100GB monthly transfer allowance and 40GB disk; 99.9% SLA; familiar AWS ecosystem.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM; no data encryption; regional data transfer overages can reach $0.132/GB; less transparent pricing than competitors.
