Heroku Postgres · $0/mo (64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 102400 GB)
Heroku's Advanced 64G pricing is opaque and requires sales contact, making comparison difficult. However, several managed database providers offer transparent, published pricing at $282-$676/mo for comparable 32GB specs with better SLAs (99.99% vs Heroku's variable terms). For a 64GB instance, you'll likely pay $500-$1000+/mo elsewhere, but with full price visibility and no hidden reliability cliffs.
Cheapest transparent alternative with 99.99% SLA, published pricing, and no sales-contact requirement; scales to larger specs if needed.
Caveat: Only 32GB RAM vs Heroku's 64GB; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply after pooled allowance.
