Managed Databases · $3400/mo (96 GB RAM, 20 vCPU, 1920 GB SSD)
The Linode Shared 96GB HA plan at $3400/mo is significantly overpriced compared to multi-node managed database alternatives. OVHcloud's 3-node MongoDB and single-node Discovery-B3 tiers offer comparable or superior specs at 40-60% lower cost, though the Linode price itself is marked ESTIMATED and unconfirmed.
3-node HA cluster with 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU at less than 58% of Linode's price, with published 99.99% SLA and no hidden HA surcharge.
Caveat: MongoDB engine only; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
