Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $255.72/mo (15 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-15 is significantly overpriced at $255.72/mo for a single-node PostgreSQL instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU, managed PostgreSQL) at less than one-third the cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas.
PostgreSQL-specific managed database at $80/mo with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU; transparent egress pricing (75GB free/mo) and no Windows license surprises.
Caveat: Non-HA single node; SLA is 99.9% vs OVHcloud's unstated SLA; EUR pricing may fluctuate.

PostgreSQL-specific, 8GB RAM / 2 vCPU at $95/mo with 99.99% SLA; 1-year reserved instances offer 38% additional discount, bringing effective cost to ~$59/mo.
Caveat: Compute-only estimate excludes storage; Premium SSD IOPS billed separately; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/mo pooled tier.
Managed PostgreSQL at $100/mo with 8GB RAM / 2 vCPU and 99.95% SLA; includes storage in base price (no separate storage billing like some competitors).
Caveat: Persistent disk storage overages billed at $0.30/GB/mo; bandwidth overage rate unclear (~$0.15/GB estimated); instances billed per-second so partial-month charges apply.
Managed PostgreSQL at $115/mo with 8GB RAM / 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, and 200GB monthly transfer included; 99.9% SLA and straightforward pricing.
Caveat: Data transfer overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); regional pricing lock-in; no HA option at this tier.
Managed database at $130/mo with 8GB RAM / 4 vCPU (better CPU ratio than most) and 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth overages only $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA upgrade costs 2-3x; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% surcharge).
