Is OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-32 the best deal?

Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $675.83/mo (32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU)

Better deals exist

OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-32 is significantly overpriced for a single-node PostgreSQL instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 23-71% lower cost, with better SLAs and more transparent pricing. The OVHcloud plan's hidden costs (IPv4 billing, APAC egress cliff in 2026) and single-node limitation make it poor value.

DB-PRO2-XS

$158/mosave 77%

Half the price of OVHcloud with 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU; scales up to larger tiers affordably if you outgrow it.

Caveat: Only 50GB storage vs OVHcloud's 640GB-3.2TB; suitable for smaller workloads but not a direct replacement for large databases.

Managed Databases OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB

$197/mosave 71%

64% cheaper than OVHcloud with 99.99% SLA, transparent bandwidth pricing, and no region-based egress cliffs.

Caveat: 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU is half OVHcloud's specs; verify OpenSearch vs PostgreSQL compatibility with your workload.

MySQL CC-Reg 6vCPU/16GB

$240/mosave 65%

65% cheaper with 6 vCPU (vs OVHcloud's 8), 16GB RAM, 320GB disk, and 100% network uptime SLA.

Caveat: MySQL not PostgreSQL; storage is 320GB vs OVHcloud's 640GB minimum; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center.

Managed Databases 16GB Standard

$245/mosave 64%

64% cheaper with 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer included, and data encryption standard; AWS ecosystem integration.

Caveat: 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU is half OVHcloud's capacity; data transfer overages are expensive at $0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region.

Managed Postgres Scale

$962/mo

Matches OVHcloud's 32GB RAM and includes HA, backups, and connection pooling built-in; better for production reliability.

Caveat: 42% more expensive than OVHcloud; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; no published platform SLA; regional pricing premiums apply outside Amsterdam.

Before you switch

OVHcloud's single-node architecture lacks HA; Fly.io and Heroku Standard include HA by default at comparable or lower cost.
Verify storage requirements: OVHcloud's 640GB-3.2TB is much larger than Scaleway/DigitalOcean/Vultr/Lightsail; if you need <100GB, cheaper tiers are overkill.
OVHcloud's APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; factor in $0.01-0.015/GB egress costs if you're in India, Singapore, or Australia.
Scaleway, DigitalOcean, and Vultr all have transparent bandwidth pricing; OVHcloud's IPv4 billing is separate and easy to overlook.
If PostgreSQL is mandatory, rule out Vultr (MySQL) and DigitalOcean (OpenSearch); Scaleway, AWS Lightsail, and Fly.io support PostgreSQL natively.
