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 use PostgreSQL or MySQL instead, savings exceed 75%. However, most cheaper options halve your RAM and vCPU, so verify your actual workload requirements before switching.
Direct MongoDB competitor with 3-node HA cluster (vs DigitalOcean's single node), same 32GB RAM per node, and 99.99% SLA for nearly identical price.
Caveat: OVHcloud's spec lists 32GB per node on a 3-node cluster; verify total usable storage (160GB-2TB) meets your needs, and confirm APAC egress charges if applicable after mid-2026.
If PostgreSQL is acceptable, saves 25% vs DigitalOcean while offering 99.99% SLA and 640GB-3.2TB usable storage on a single node.
Caveat: Requires database engine change from MongoDB; verify application compatibility before committing.
MySQL alternative with identical pricing to PostgreSQL, 99.99% SLA, and 2 Gbps public / 4 Gbps private bandwidth.
Caveat: Requires database engine change from MongoDB; confirm your application supports MySQL before switching.
Cheapest option at 47% savings with 100% network uptime SLA and 640GB disk, though specs are half DigitalOcean's RAM and vCPU.
Caveat: Only 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU (vs 64GB/16 vCPU on DigitalOcean); bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; MySQL only, not MongoDB.
Matches Vultr's price with 99.99% SLA and 640GB SSD storage, though specs are estimated and not directly confirmed.
Caveat: Pricing is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing pattern and not directly confirmed; only 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU; outbound bandwidth costs $0.005-$0.015/GB after allowance; HA clusters cost 2-3x more.
