Managed Postgres · $282/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Fly.io Launch is a premium managed Postgres tier with HA and strong specs, but it's 4-5x the cost of comparable single-node alternatives. Unless you need HA and 8GB RAM together, OVHcloud PostgreSQL Essential or UpCloud single-node Postgres offer similar performance at 77-76% lower cost, though with trade-offs in node count and SLA.
Matches 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU at one-quarter the price, includes 80-240GB usable storage, and offers 99.99% SLA comparable to Fly.io HA.
Caveat: Single node only (no HA), and IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50GB disk at 76% discount; industry-leading 99.999% SLA beats Fly.io's HA tier.
Caveat: Single node; backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data transfer overages despite free-egress marketing can add hidden costs.
8GB RAM and 2 vCPU at 72% savings; matches Fly.io's RAM exactly and includes 20GB SSD storage.
Caveat: Non-HA single node; 99.9% SLA is lower than Fly.io; Object Storage egress fees and snapshot charges apply separately.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and 1-3 year reserved discounts (38-55% off) bring effective cost well below Fly.io.
Caveat: Price is compute-only and excludes storage; outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; reserved pricing requires upfront commitment.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD at 77% savings; 99.99% SLA and outbound bandwidth at $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; single node; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% surcharge).
