Managed Postgres · $962/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Fly.io's Scale plan is significantly more expensive than comparable managed Postgres offerings. OVHcloud and Scaleway both deliver similar or better specs (16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, HA-capable) at roughly one-third the price, with transparent per-node billing and no region-based premiums on base rates.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Memory Optimized 16GB | $140.1/mo | 16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · Valkey Mem-Opt 2vCPU/16GB (0 rep) |
4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 320GB-1.6TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and per-node pricing with no region premium on base rates.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; single-node configuration (HA requires separate tier).
4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB disk, 300GB transfer included, and data encryption standard.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary sharply by region (0.09-0.132/GB); no explicit HA guarantee in Standard tier.
6 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 320GB SSD, 99.99% SLA, and outbound bandwidth pooled allowance included.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA (3-node) clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
Lowest sticker price, 16GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and simple bandwidth overage model.
Caveat: Only 2 vCPU (half of Fly.io Scale); product is OpenSearch, not PostgreSQL, so not a direct database replacement.
