Managed Databases · $115.6/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's MongoDB plan is significantly overpriced compared to equivalent managed database offerings from competitors. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU tiers at $55-65/mo with comparable or better reliability SLAs, representing 40-50% savings. However, the DigitalOcean plan includes 8GB RAM and 2 vCPUs, so true apples-to-apples comparisons are limited; Scaleway and Azure offer matching or superior specs at lower cost.
Matches DigitalOcean's 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU spec exactly at $80/mo, saving $35.60/mo, with 99.9-99.99% SLA and 20GB SSD included.
Caveat: Non-HA single node; no MongoDB option (PostgreSQL/MySQL only); verify egress charges if bandwidth-heavy.
Matches 8GB RAM / 2 vCPU spec at $95/mo (compute-only estimate), saving $20.60/mo, with 99.99% SLA and reserved-instance discounts up to 55% available.
Caveat: Price excludes storage; PostgreSQL only (no MongoDB); outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/mo; storage and IOPS charged separately.
Offers 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU at $64.24/mo with 99.99% SLA and 80-240GB usable storage, saving $51.36/mo versus DigitalOcean.
Caveat: Half the RAM (4GB vs 8GB); PostgreSQL only (no MongoDB); IPv4 and storage overages billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
4GB RAM / 2 vCPU at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA and 80GB SSD, saving $50.60/mo; price is estimated from linear scaling pattern.
Caveat: Half the RAM; single-node only; price is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed; outbound bandwidth billed at $0.005/GB after allowance; backups are a separate add-on.
4GB RAM / 2 vCPU at $68.61/mo with industry-leading 99.999% SLA and 50GB disk, saving $46.99/mo.
Caveat: Half the RAM; PostgreSQL only; backups add 10-60% surcharge depending on frequency; data transfer overages possible despite free-egress marketing.
