Managed Databases · $54/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB)
Vultr's $54/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at 28-72% lower cost, with UpCloud and Linode delivering 2GB RAM at $30-$16/mo. The main trade-off is that cheaper tiers typically include only 1 vCPU instead of 2, and some lack high-availability replicas.
Matches Vultr's 2GB RAM and 2vCPU at 44% lower cost with 99.999% SLA and 24h backups included.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA replica); backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data-transfer overages can add cost; disk is 25GB vs Vultr's 80GB.
| 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 · Valkey Basic 1GB | $15/mo |
Lowest absolute price with 99.99% SLA and confirmed pricing; suitable if 1GB RAM and 1vCPU meet your workload.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM and 1vCPU (half Vultr's specs); standalone (no HA); HA replica clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate paid add-on.
Cheapest option with 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing ($0.01/GB).
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM and 1vCPU; Valkey (Redis-compatible) rather than MySQL/PostgreSQL; 10GB disk vs Vultr's 80GB.
Matches DigitalOcean's price with 100GB free transfer and 40GB disk; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM and 1vCPU; no data encryption; bandwidth overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region).
Includes HA, backups, and connection pooling; 2vCPU (shared) and 1GB RAM at 30% savings; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM vs Vultr's 2GB; shared vCPU (not dedicated); no published platform SLA; storage, extra RAM, and cross-region networking add cost; region-dependent pricing.
