Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $64.24/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Essential DB1-4 is significantly overpriced for production use. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at 18-53% lower cost, with stronger SLAs and more transparent pricing. The best value depends on whether you need HA and your traffic patterns.
Cheapest option at $11/mo with 2GB RAM and 1 vCPU, suitable for development and small production workloads.
Caveat: Development-only tier with no HA; not recommended for mission-critical applications requiring high availability.
| 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 |
Burstable tier at $12.41/mo with 2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; storage and backup billed separately but still cheaper overall.
Caveat: Burstable CPU model means performance is variable; storage costs (~$0.115/GB/mo) add up quickly for larger databases; no reserved-instance discounts available.
Straightforward $19.60/mo pricing with 2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; minimal hidden costs beyond bandwidth overages.
Caveat: Bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB can add up if you have high egress traffic; note this is OpenSearch, not PostgreSQL, so verify compatibility with your workload.
Includes 80GB disk and 100GB monthly transfer at $30/mo with 99.9% SLA; transparent pricing and no surprise license surcharges for PostgreSQL.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and can exceed free tier quickly; 99.9% SLA is lower than OVHcloud's implied tier.
Matches OVHcloud's 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU at nearly identical price ($65/mo vs $64.24/mo) with 99.99% SLA and transparent outbound bandwidth pricing.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% surcharge).
