Heroku Data for Redis · $210/mo (500 MB RAM)
Heroku Shield-3 Redis at $210/mo is significantly overpriced for 500MB capacity. Render's Redis Starter at $10/mo offers the same 256MB for a fraction of the cost, though with lower specs; if you need the full 500MB, Render still undercuts Heroku substantially while maintaining comparable uptime SLA.
Redis-compatible cache at 256MB for $10/mo versus Heroku's $210/mo for 500MB; same 99.95% SLA and no hidden reliability cliffs.
Caveat: Half the memory capacity; bandwidth overages and storage billed separately, though unlikely to impact small cache workloads.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Render | Render Postgres · Basic-256mb | $6/mo | 256 MB RAM, 0 vCPU | Visit |
| Render | Render Key Value (Redis-compatible) · Starter | $10/mo | 256 MB RAM | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Autonomous Database (ATP/ADW) · Serverless - 1 ECPU | $245.28/mo | 1 vCPU |
If your use case allows Postgres instead of Redis, this is the cheapest managed data option at $6/mo with 99.95% uptime.
Caveat: Postgres, not Redis; storage and bandwidth billed separately; shared/fractional vCPU; not a direct replacement for a cache layer.
