Managed Databases · $960/mo (64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280 GB)
Vultr's MySQL plan is significantly overpriced for the specs. Multiple providers offer comparable or better database performance at 40-70% lower cost, with stronger SLAs and more transparent pricing. The main trade-off is that most alternatives max out at 32GB RAM / 8 vCPU rather than Vultr's 64GB / 16 vCPU, but even accounting for that, Vultr's per-unit cost is poor.
Half the price of Vultr with 99.99% SLA, transparent bandwidth overage ($0.01/GB), and a proven managed database platform.
Caveat: Half the RAM and vCPU (32GB/8vCPU vs 64GB/16vCPU); PostgreSQL instead of MySQL; verify if your workload fits the smaller tier.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 32GB | $397.1/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 32 GB - Standalone | $480/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB SSD | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 32GB Standard | $490/mo |
50% cheaper than Vultr, 99.99% SLA, and includes 640GB SSD storage; bandwidth overages are predictable at $0.005/GB.
Caveat: ESTIMATED pricing from linear pattern, not directly confirmed; HA and backups are separate add-ons that could push cost higher; half the specs of Vultr's plan.
49% cheaper with 400GB included transfer, encrypted data, and 960GB disk; AWS's global infrastructure and reliability.
Caveat: Lower 99.9% SLA vs Vultr's implied higher tier; data transfer overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); half the specs.
30% cheaper than Vultr for MySQL specifically, 99.99% SLA, and includes 640GB-3.2TB usable storage with 2 Gbps public bandwidth.
Caveat: Half the specs (32GB/8vCPU); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately; half the resources.
30% cheaper than Vultr with 99.99% SLA and 640GB-3.2TB storage; same pricing as MySQL tier.
Caveat: PostgreSQL instead of MySQL; half the specs; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; IPv4 billed separately.
