Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $513.99/mo (30 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-30 is significantly overpriced for a single-node PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 30-70% lower cost, with better SLAs and fewer hidden gotchas. Unless you need OVHcloud's specific regional presence or compliance requirements, switching will save substantial money.
Cheapest option at $158/mo with 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU; includes 99.9-99.99% SLA and transparent egress pricing (75GB free, then EUR 0.01/GB).
Caveat: Half the RAM and vCPU of OVHcloud, and only 50GB SSD storage vs 640GB-1.92TB; suitable only if your workload fits smaller specs.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB | $197.35/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB (0 rep) | $240/mo |
Strong value at $197/mo with 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are transparent at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: Product is OpenSearch (not PostgreSQL); verify compatibility with your application before migrating.
Saves 53% at $240/mo with 16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, and 320GB disk; includes 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: MySQL, not PostgreSQL; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center and are not pre-disclosed.
52% savings at $245/mo with 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 480GB disk, and 300GB included transfer; 99.9% SLA and data encryption.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates are region-dependent ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and can add up quickly; AWS pricing complexity may require careful monitoring.
51% cheaper at $250/mo with 16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth is transparent at $0.005/GB.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from pricing patterns, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more, and backups are a separate add-on (20-25% of instance price).
