Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $1351.6/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Discovery-B3-64 is significantly overpriced compared to smaller-spec managed PostgreSQL tiers from DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode, and AWS Lightsail, all of which cost $397-$490/mo for 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU. If you need the full 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU, Fly.io Performance ($1922/mo) and Heroku Postgres Standard-5 ($1400/mo) are closer matches, though both carry their own hidden costs and caveats.
Half the RAM and vCPU of OVHcloud, but at 71% lower cost with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing.
Caveat: 32GB RAM and 8 vCPU are half OVHcloud's specs; verify your workload doesn't require the larger instance.

| Vultr | Managed Databases · MySQL CC-Reg 8vCPU/32GB (0 rep) | $480/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 32 GB - Standalone | $480/mo |
Similar 32GB/8vCPU tier at $480/mo with 100% network uptime SLA and 640GB disk; MySQL instead of PostgreSQL but comparable value.
Caveat: This is MySQL, not PostgreSQL; bandwidth overages vary by data center; Windows license cost not included if needed.
32GB/8vCPU managed database at $490/mo with 400GB transfer included, encrypted data, and 960GB disk.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates are high ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and vary by region; 99.9% SLA is lower than competitors.
32GB/8vCPU standalone managed database at $480/mo with 99.99% SLA and $0.005/GB outbound bandwidth after pooled allowance.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
Closest spec match at 61GB RAM and 1TB storage for $1400/mo, only 3.5% cheaper than OVHcloud, with 500 max connections and higher reliability.
Caveat: Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier SLA not separately published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
