Managed Database - PostgreSQL · $384.27/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
OVHcloud's Production B3-8 at $384.27/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 20-80% lower cost, with better transparency and fewer hidden gotchas around egress billing and regional surcharges.
Matches OVHcloud's 8GB RAM and 2 vCPU spec at just $80/mo with transparent egress pricing (75GB free, then EUR 0.01/GB) and no region-based egress cliffs.
Caveat: Non-HA single-node setup; if you need HA, cost will increase significantly.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU at $95/mo with 100GB free outbound bandwidth per month and strong 99.99% SLA; 1-year reserved instances offer 38% additional discount.
Caveat: Storage and IOPS billed separately; early-deletion penalties on cool/cold tiers; compute-only estimate may not include all costs.
8GB RAM, 2 vCPU with built-in HA, backups, and connection pooling at $282/mo; strong feature parity with OVHcloud's 2-node setup.
Caveat: Storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing premiums apply outside Amsterdam; no published platform SLA.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU at $68.61/mo with industry-leading 99.999% SLA; half the storage but a quarter the price.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA); backups add 10-60% surcharge; storage limited to 50GB vs OVHcloud's 160-800GB range.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA and transparent $0.005/GB overage billing after pooled allowance.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
