Managed Databases · $975.24/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's MongoDB Basic 64GB plan is significantly overpriced compared to OVHcloud's MongoDB Production B3-32, which offers comparable managed database features at nearly identical cost but with 3-node HA included and lower per-node pricing. Multiple alternatives deliver 50% cost savings for similar specs, though most require accepting half the RAM or different database engines.
MongoDB-to-MongoDB match with 3-node HA cluster (vs DigitalOcean's single node), nearly identical monthly cost, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: 32GB RAM per node (not 64GB total), so aggregate capacity is lower; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Half the price with 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU; includes 640GB disk and 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: MySQL instead of MongoDB (database engine mismatch); half the RAM; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; not a direct feature-for-feature replacement.
50% savings with 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA; standalone single-node option.
Caveat: ESTIMATED pricing (not directly confirmed); half the RAM; backups and HA are expensive add-ons (20-25% and 2-3x multiplier respectively); outbound bandwidth charged at $0.005-0.015/GB after allowance.
50% cost reduction with 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 960GB disk, 400GB transfer included, and data encryption.
Caveat: Half the RAM; data transfer overage is expensive ($0.09-0.132/GB depending on region); 99.9% SLA is lower than DigitalOcean's implied uptime; database engine not specified.
30% savings with 32GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640GB-3.2TB usable storage, 2 Gbps public bandwidth, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: MySQL instead of MongoDB; half the RAM; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
