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 offer 16GB Postgres instances at roughly one-third the price, with similar HA and backup features. Unless you need Fly.io's specific edge-compute integration or multi-region capabilities, switching would yield substantial savings.
| 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) | $160/mo |
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 320GB-1.6TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, 1 Gbps public / 4 Gbps private bandwidth.
Caveat: Single node (not HA by default); APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer included, encrypted, 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region (up to $0.132/GB); less feature-rich than Fly.io's connection pooling.
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD, 99.99% SLA, outbound bandwidth billed at $0.005/GB after allowance.
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.
Cheapest option at 16GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, with minimal hidden egress costs ($0.01/GB overage).
Caveat: This is OpenSearch (Elasticsearch-compatible), not PostgreSQL; only 2 vCPU vs Fly.io's 4; verify workload compatibility before switching.
