Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $163.52/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Business DB1-4 is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, HA) at 30-50% lower cost, with transparent pricing and no region-based egress cliffs.
Matches OVHcloud's 4GB RAM and 64GB disk at less than one-third the price, includes HA and 120 max connections.
Caveat: Standard tier SLA not published separately; Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% uptime and no HA, creating a reliability cliff.
| 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 |
4GB RAM, 1 vCPU at one-third OVHcloud's price; includes HA, backups, and connection pooling out of the box.
Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage at ~$0.15/GB; instances billed per-second so partial-month charges apply.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD at 40% of OVHcloud's cost; 99.99% SLA and transparent outbound bandwidth pricing ($0.005/GB overage).
Caveat: Spec is estimated from pricing patterns, not directly confirmed; HA (3-node) clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
2GB RAM, 2 vCPU with HA, backups, and connection pooling included at 44% of OVHcloud's price; strong for high-availability workloads.
Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.28/GB/month; regional pricing varies; stopped machines still incur $0.15/GB rootfs storage charge; no published platform SLA.
2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 80GB disk at 18% of OVHcloud's price; includes 100GB monthly transfer and data encryption.
Caveat: Specs are for 2GB tier, not 4GB; data transfer overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); 99.9% SLA is lower than OVHcloud's implied tier.
