Managed Databases · $72/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 128 GB)
Vultr's $72/mo plan is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM / 2vCPU managed databases at $30-65/mo with comparable or better reliability and storage. The best value comes from OVHcloud and Linode, which match or exceed Vultr's hardware at 11-37% lower cost.
Matches Vultr's 4GB RAM and 2vCPU with 80-240GB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and 250 Mbps throughput at $8/mo less.
Caveat: APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; storage overage billed at $0.0004/GB/hr if you exceed allocation.
Identical specs to MySQL variant (4GB/2vCPU, 80-240GB storage, 99.99% SLA) at the same $64.24/mo price.
Caveat: Same APAC egress cliff and storage overage charges as MySQL tier.
4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB SSD standalone instance at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA, saving $7/mo versus Vultr.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
4GB RAM, 1vCPU Postgres at $55/mo saves $17/mo and includes persistent disk; 99.95% SLA is competitive.
Caveat: Only 1vCPU versus Vultr's 2vCPU; persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/mo; bandwidth overage ~$0.15/GB.
4GB RAM, 64GB disk Postgres at $50/mo saves $22/mo with HA and higher reliability than Essential tier.
Caveat: Standard tier SLA not published separately; Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades.
