Managed Databases · $905.85/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's MongoDB plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. OVHcloud offers a direct MongoDB alternative at 47% less, and if you can switch database engines, multiple providers offer 32GB/8vCPU tiers at 47-75% savings. However, DigitalOcean's 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU specs are genuinely larger; most alternatives max out at 32GB/8vCPU.
Only direct MongoDB competitor; 3-node HA cluster (vs DigitalOcean single node) at nearly identical price, but half the RAM/vCPU per node.
Caveat: 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU per node (not 64GB/16vCPU); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 billed separately.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 8vCPU/32GB (0 rep) | $480/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 32 GB - Standalone | $480/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB SSD | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 32GB Standard | $490/mo |
Cheapest managed database option; 47% savings if you can migrate from MongoDB to MySQL.
Caveat: Half the RAM (32GB vs 64GB), quarter the vCPU (8 vs 16), and requires database engine change; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center.
Matches Vultr pricing with 99.99% SLA; 47% savings if database engine flexibility exists.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; half the RAM/vCPU; backups and HA are separate add-ons (20-25% and 2-3x multiplier respectively).
Competitive 32GB tier at 46% savings with 400GB included transfer and data encryption.
Caveat: Half the RAM/vCPU; data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); lower 99.9% SLA.
Only alternative matching DigitalOcean's 64GB RAM spec; includes HA, backups, and connection pooling in base price.
Caveat: 112% more expensive; Postgres not MongoDB; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional price premiums apply; no published platform SLA.
