Managed Databases · $246/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB NVMe)
Linode's Dedicated G7 4GB HA plan at $246/mo is a premium, production-grade 3-node cluster with strong specs (NVMe, 2 dedicated vCPU). However, several providers offer comparable or better value for lower workload tiers, and OVHcloud delivers matching RAM/vCPU at roughly 26% less for single-node PostgreSQL/MySQL if HA is not required.
Matches Linode's 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU at one-quarter the price; includes 80-240GB usable storage and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA); additional storage beyond 240GB billed at $0.0005/GB/hr; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
Identical specs to PostgreSQL tier (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80-240GB storage) at the same price with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Single-node only; overage storage at $0.0004/GB/hr; no HA failover like Linode's 3-node cluster.
4GB RAM at $55/mo with 99.95% SLA; simpler pricing model and no per-node backup surcharges.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU (vs Linode's 2 dedicated); persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/mo; bandwidth overage ~$0.15/GB; no HA.
4GB RAM and 64GB disk at $50/mo with managed backups and connection pooling included.
Caveat: 1 vCPU only; Standard tier SLA not published separately; Essential tier (cheaper) drops to 99.5% SLA and lacks HA; add-on overages can force unplanned tier jumps.
Lowest entry point at $30/mo with 99.999% SLA (highest on list) and 24h backups included.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM and 1 vCPU (half Linode's specs); single-node; backup add-ons (Day/Week/Month/Year) add 10-60% surcharge; data transfer overages despite 'free egress' marketing.
