Analytics - OpenSearch · $70.08/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Analytics OpenSearch Essential DB1-4 at $70.08/mo is significantly overpriced for a single-node, 4GB RAM database compared to managed alternatives. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs (2-4GB RAM, managed databases) at $11-$55/mo with stronger SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas.
Same OpenSearch product family, 2GB RAM at $19.60/mo vs OVHcloud's $70.08, with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing.
Caveat: Half the RAM and storage of OVHcloud tier, but sufficient for many analytics workloads; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply.
| 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 |
2GB RAM managed database at $30/mo with 80GB disk, 100GB monthly transfer, and encryption included; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); lower SLA than OVHcloud's implied tier.
2GB RAM PostgreSQL at $30/mo with 25GB storage, 24h backups, and industry-leading 99.999% SLA.
Caveat: Backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and potential data-transfer overages despite free-egress marketing; smaller storage footprint than OVHcloud.
Matches OVHcloud's 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU at $65/mo (estimated), with 99.99% SLA and 80GB SSD storage.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; bandwidth overages at $0.005-$0.015/GB; backups are a separate add-on.
Slightly above OVHcloud's price at $72/mo but includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out-of-the-box with 2GB RAM and 2 vCPU.
Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing varies; no published platform SLA; stopped machines still incur storage charges.
