Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $654.23/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Business DB1-15 is significantly overpriced compared to managed PostgreSQL offerings from competitors. Multiple providers offer 8GB RAM / 2-4 vCPU PostgreSQL instances for $76-$130/month, roughly 8-10x cheaper, though the OVHcloud plan does include 2-node redundancy and higher base specs (15GB RAM, 4 vCPU). However, even accounting for that premium, the price gap is unjustifiable for most workloads.
PostgreSQL-native managed database at 1/8th the OVHcloud price with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU; includes 20GB SSD storage and transparent pricing.
Caveat: Non-HA (single node); lower vCPU count (2 vs 4); no published SLA guarantee at the lowest tier.

| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
Cheapest managed database option with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU, and strong 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are the only material hidden cost.
Caveat: OpenSearch (Elasticsearch-compatible), not PostgreSQL; verify workload compatibility before switching.
PostgreSQL-native, 8GB RAM / 2 vCPU, 99.99% SLA, and 38-55% discounts available on 1-3 year reserved instances; compute-only pricing excludes storage but still far cheaper.
Caveat: Storage, IOPS, and bandwidth billed separately; 1-year commitment required for best pricing; estimate does not include storage costs.
PostgreSQL-native managed database with 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 99.95% SLA, and included storage; straightforward per-second billing avoids surprise monthly charges.
Caveat: Storage overages billed at $0.30/GB/month; bandwidth overage rate (~$0.15/GB) not officially documented; lower vCPU than OVHcloud plan.
PostgreSQL-native, 8GB RAM / 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, 200GB monthly transfer included, and data encryption at rest; simple pricing with minimal hidden costs.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); 99.9% SLA is lower than OVHcloud's implied tier; lower vCPU count.
