Managed Databases · $81.6/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB NVMe)
Linode's Dedicated G7 4GB at $81.60/mo is a premium single-node offering with strong specs (NVMe, 2 dedicated vCPU), but several providers offer comparable or better value at lower price points, especially if you can tolerate smaller RAM or accept managed trade-offs. The real cost depends heavily on your backup and HA requirements, which Linode charges separately.
Matches Linode's 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU at $17.36/mo less, includes 80-240GB usable storage, and offers 99.99% SLA without separate HA markup.
Caveat: Single-node only (no built-in HA replica); additional storage beyond 80GB billed at $0.0004/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 and price to PostgreSQL variant; 99.99% SLA and 250 Mbps public/private bandwidth included.
Caveat: Single-node only; storage overage at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC free-egress cliff in 2026.
Matches Linode's 4GB RAM at $26.60/mo less; includes 1 vCPU, 99.95% SLA, and billed by the second for fine-grained cost control.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU vs Linode's 2; persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/mo; bandwidth overage around $0.15/GB; no HA option listed.
Matches Linode's 4GB RAM and 64GB disk at $31.60/mo less; Standard tier includes HA and 99.5% uptime (higher than Essential).
Caveat: Heroku Postgres Advanced tier pricing is not published; Standard tier has 120 max connections; row/connection limit overages force tier upgrades; Private Spaces cost 2-3x more.
Lowest absolute price at $30/mo; includes 24h backups, 99.999% SLA (highest available), and 25GB disk; no separate backup add-on required.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM and 1 vCPU vs Linode's 4GB/2vCPU; additional backup frequencies (Day/Week/Month/Year) add 10-60% surcharge; data transfer beyond Fair Policy may incur overages despite free-egress marketing.
