Managed Databases · $60.84/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's MongoDB Basic 4GB at $60.84/mo is moderately priced but lacks high-availability features and carries per-GB bandwidth overage charges. Several alternatives offer comparable or better specs at lower cost, though most sacrifice either HA, storage capacity, or reliability SLA.
Matches your 4GB RAM and adds 64GB disk storage for $10.84/month less, with managed backups and higher reliability than DigitalOcean's single-node offering.
Caveat: Postgres only (not MongoDB), and Standard tier requires established billing history; Essential tier drops to 99.5% SLA.
| 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 |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 2GB Standard | $30/mo |
4GB RAM at $55/mo saves $5.84/month and includes managed backups; 99.95% SLA is competitive.
Caveat: Postgres only, storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month, and bandwidth overage at ~$0.15/GB makes it expensive for high-traffic workloads.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80-240GB storage, and 99.99% SLA for only $3.40 more; includes HA-ready multi-node architecture.
Caveat: MySQL only (not MongoDB), and APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; storage overages billed at $0.0004/GB/hr.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA for only $4.16 more; pricing estimated from pattern but consistent with published tiers.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80-240GB storage, and 99.99% SLA for $3.40 more; same value as MySQL variant with PostgreSQL engine.
Caveat: PostgreSQL only (not MongoDB); storage overages at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC egress loses free tier after mid-2026.
