Managed Postgres · $38/mo (1 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Fly.io's $38/mo Basic Postgres is feature-rich (HA, backups, connection pooling) but pricey for the specs. Several cheaper alternatives exist with comparable or better RAM/CPU, though most lack HA or have development-only SLAs. Storage and egress costs will vary significantly by workload.
2GB RAM, 10GB SSD for $11/mo is a massive sticker-price win and suitable for dev/staging workloads.
Caveat: No HA, development-only tier, not recommended for production; no SLA guarantee listed.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 1vCPU/1GB (0 rep) |
2GB RAM, 1 vCPU for $12.41/mo with 99.99% SLA and burstable CPU model suitable for variable workloads.
Caveat: Burstable tier has no reserved-instance discounts; storage and backup billed separately at ~$0.115/GB/mo; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month pooled free tier.
1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10GB disk for $15/mo with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing ($0.01/GB).
Caveat: Half the RAM of Fly.io Basic; Valkey is Redis-compatible, not native Postgres (verify compatibility with your app).
1GB RAM, 1 vCPU Postgres for $19/mo with 99.95% SLA; includes some storage and bandwidth in workspace plan.
Caveat: Only 0.5 vCPU shared/fractional; persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage ~$0.15/GB beyond allowance.
1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25GB SSD for $16/mo with 99.99% SLA; confirmed price and straightforward bandwidth overage ($0.005/GB).
Caveat: Standalone (no HA replica); backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% of instance price); HA clusters cost 2-3x the single-node price.
