Is OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-16 the best deal?

Analytics - ClickHouse · $402.6/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)

Best in class

OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-16 ClickHouse plan is a specialized analytics database offering significantly more resources (16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, up to 40TB storage) than the generic managed database alternatives listed. The cheaper options are either smaller instances (8GB RAM), different database engines (OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis), or lack the columnar analytics optimization that ClickHouse provides. No genuinely equivalent ClickHouse or comparable OLAP offering exists in the candidate list at a lower price.

Before you switch

Verify whether you actually need ClickHouse's columnar analytics capabilities; if standard OLTP databases suffice, options like Scaleway PostgreSQL ($80/mo) or DigitalOcean OpenSearch ($76.25/mo) are far cheaper but serve different workloads
Confirm IPv4 address billing impact - OVHcloud charges separately for public IPs, which could add $5-15/mo depending on your setup
Check APAC egress implications if you operate in India, Singapore, or Australia; free egress ends mid-2026 and will incur per-GB charges thereafter
Validate that Milan/Paris region availability meets your latency and compliance requirements; no other provider in this list offers ClickHouse at all
Review OVHcloud's storage tier pricing (100GB-40TB range) to confirm the $402.6/mo covers your actual data volume; tiered pricing may apply above certain thresholds
