Managed Databases · $243.72/mo (16 GB RAM, 6 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's MongoDB Basic 16GB is competitively priced for its specs, but AWS Lightsail offers nearly identical 16GB RAM at $245/mo with more disk (480GB vs unspecified) and a similar SLA. For pure cost savings, Vultr and Linode deliver 50% discounts on 8GB tiers, though you lose 2 vCPUs and half the RAM. OVHcloud's MongoDB Production B3-16 at $507/mo is a 3-node HA cluster, making it a different product category despite higher cost.
Matches your 16GB RAM and vCPU count at nearly identical price with 480GB disk and 300GB transfer included.
Caveat: Data transfer overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); verify your region's overage rate before committing.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 4vCPU/8GB (0 rep) | $120/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160 GB | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 8 GB - Standalone | $130/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160 GB SSD | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo |
Cuts your bill in half with a solid 8GB/4vCPU MySQL instance and 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Half the RAM and vCPUs; database engine is MySQL not MongoDB; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location.
46% cheaper with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; includes 160GB SSD storage.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; backups and HA clusters are expensive add-ons (20-25% and 2-3x multiplier respectively); outbound bandwidth is $0.005-$0.015/GB after allowance.
35% savings with 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU; supports both PostgreSQL and MySQL; 99.9-99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Only 50GB SSD vs DigitalOcean's unspecified disk; egress beyond 75GB/month costs EUR 0.01/GB; pricing in EUR may fluctuate.
28% cheaper with 2-node HA cluster (higher availability than single-node) and industry-leading 99.999% SLA.
Caveat: Only 8GB RAM per node and MySQL not MongoDB; backups add 10-60% surcharge depending on retention; data transfer overages possible despite 'free egress' marketing.
