Managed MySQL · $175/mo (8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB)
UpCloud's $175/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a 2-node HA MySQL cluster. Most competitors offer single-node 4GB/2vCPU databases at $37-75/mo, but UpCloud's 8GB/4vCPU per-node specs and HA architecture are genuinely different. However, hidden backup surcharges (up to +60% yearly) and MaxIOPS storage lock-in make the true cost higher, and no single alternative matches the full spec—you're choosing between lower specs at much lower cost or similar specs elsewhere.
4GB RAM / 2vCPU / 80GB storage at 99.99% SLA for $64/mo—roughly one-third UpCloud's price with published, transparent per-GB overage rates.
Caveat: Single node (no HA); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; storage overage at $0.0004/GB/hr adds up if you exceed 80GB.
4GB RAM / 2vCPU / 80GB SSD at $60/mo with 100% network uptime SLA; simpler pricing than OVHcloud with no region-based egress cliffs.
Caveat: Single node; bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location and are not pre-published.
4GB RAM / 2vCPU / 120GB disk with 100GB free transfer and 99.9% SLA; AWS ecosystem integration and data encryption included.
Caveat: Single node; data transfer overage is region-dependent ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and can spike; no HA.
4GB RAM / 2vCPU / 80GB SSD at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA; backups available as add-on (~$13-16/mo) if needed.
Caveat: Single node; HA clusters cost 2-3x the base price; bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB after pooled allowance; spec is estimated from pricing pattern, not directly confirmed.
4GB RAM / 2vCPU at $75/mo with 99.95% SLA; developer-friendly interface and billed by the second (scale-to-zero friendly).
Caveat: Single node; persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage at ~$0.15/GB; Postgres only, not MySQL.
