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 region or have existing commitments, switching will save substantial money.
Half the price of OVHcloud with 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU; Object Storage egress is metered but PostgreSQL managed database itself has no surprise egress charges.
Caveat: Specs are smaller (50GB SSD vs 640GB-1.92TB), so only viable if your storage footprint is under 50GB; pricing in EUR so subject to exchange-rate drift.
| 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 |
61% cheaper than OVHcloud with 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, and a published 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are transparent at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: This is listed as OpenSearch (not PostgreSQL) in the dataset, so verify DigitalOcean offers an equivalent PostgreSQL tier at this price before committing.
53% cheaper with 16GB RAM and 6 vCPU (more cores than OVHcloud); 320GB disk is smaller but still usable for many workloads; 100% network uptime SLA is strong.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; MySQL not PostgreSQL, so schema/tooling migration required.
52% cheaper with 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 480GB disk, and 300GB monthly transfer included; data encryption standard; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); regional pricing variation means actual cost may differ significantly.
51% cheaper with 16GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth is metered but at a low rate ($0.005/GB for compute).
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more, so single-node may not meet your availability needs.
