Managed MySQL · $75/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 100 GB)
UpCloud's $75/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a single-node managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80-100GB storage) at $50-65/mo with better SLAs and fewer hidden backup surcharges. The backup add-on surcharges (up to +60% annually) make UpCloud's true cost even higher.
Matches UpCloud's 4GB RAM and 64GB storage at $50/mo with included HA, backups, and 120 max connections; no per-backup surcharges.
Caveat: Standard tier SLA not separately published; Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% uptime and no HA, creating a reliability cliff.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
Delivers 2 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 80GB disk at $54/mo with 100% network uptime SLA and no backup surcharges.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; specs are lower than UpCloud (2GB vs 4GB RAM) but still competitive for most workloads.
Offers 4GB RAM, 1 vCPU at $55/mo with 99.95% SLA and included backups; persistent disk storage billed separately but no backup surcharges.
Caveat: Storage billed at $0.25/GB/month on top of base price; bandwidth overage rate unclear (~$0.15/GB estimated); lower CPU count than UpCloud.
Provides 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80-240GB usable storage at $64.24/mo with 99.99% SLA and no backup surcharges.
Caveat: Additional storage beyond 80GB billed at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; single node (no HA).
Matches UpCloud's 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA; backups are a separate add-on but no percentage surcharges.
Caveat: Spec is estimated from pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; backups add roughly 20-25% to monthly cost; HA clusters cost 2-3x more.
