Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $337.92/mo (16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-16 is significantly overpriced at $337.92/mo for a single-node PostgreSQL instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2-4 vCPU) at 70-90% lower cost, with better SLAs and more transparent pricing. The OVHcloud plan's main advantage is 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU, but that premium doesn't justify a 3-4x price multiplier.
PostgreSQL-native managed database at 76% lower cost with 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU; transparent egress pricing (75GB free/month) and no surprise Windows licensing.
Caveat: Non-HA single-node only; half the vCPU count and 1/4 the storage range of OVHcloud, so workload fit matters.

| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
PostgreSQL Flexible Server with 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA at 72% savings; 1-year reserved instances drop to ~$59/mo (82% off).
Caveat: Compute-only estimate excludes storage; Premium SSD IOPS billed separately; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month pooled tier.
Managed PostgreSQL with 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and 99.95% SLA at 70% lower cost; includes backups and connection pooling.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage ($0.25/GB/month) and Postgres storage overage ($0.30/GB/month) billed separately; bandwidth overage at ~$0.15/GB.
Managed database with 8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 240GB disk, and 200GB monthly transfer at 66% savings; encrypted by default.
Caveat: Data transfer overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); 99.9% SLA is lower than OVHcloud's implied tier; regional pricing lock-in.
Managed database with 8GB RAM, 4 vCPU (matching OVHcloud's vCPU count), 160GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA at 62% savings.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA upgrade costs 2-3x; backups are a separate add-on (~$26-33/mo).
