Managed Databases · $244.35/mo (16 GB RAM, 6 vCPU)
DigitalOcean's PostgreSQL Basic 16GB is fairly priced but significantly over-specced for most workloads. Scaleway and AWS Lightsail offer comparable 16GB RAM tiers at lower cost, while Vultr and Linode provide substantial savings if you can work with 8GB RAM and accept lower vCPU counts.
Matches 16GB RAM at 35% lower cost with 4 vCPU (vs DigitalOcean's 6), includes 50GB SSD, and offers 99.9-99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Egress bandwidth charged at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free monthly allowance; pricing in EUR may fluctuate.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 4vCPU/8GB (0 rep) | $120/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160 GB | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 8 GB - Standalone | $130/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160 GB SSD | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo |
Identical 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU at nearly the same price, includes 480GB disk and 300GB transfer, with 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates are region-dependent and can reach $0.132/GB, significantly higher than DigitalOcean's $0.01/GB.
Cuts cost nearly in half at 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU with 160GB SSD, includes 99.99% SLA and standalone architecture.
Caveat: Tier is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern and not directly confirmed; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% surcharge); outbound bandwidth charged at $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.
Lowest absolute cost at 8GB RAM and 4 vCPU with 160GB disk, includes 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: MySQL only, not PostgreSQL; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location; 0 replicas means no HA.
Matches PostgreSQL engine at 15GB RAM and 4 vCPU with 99.99% SLA, only 5% more than DigitalOcean.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; storage range 320-960GB is unclear.
