Managed Databases · $1920/mo (96 GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 1600 GB)
Vultr's 24vCPU/96GB plan is significantly oversized and overpriced compared to the market. Most comparable managed database workloads run on 16vCPU/64GB tiers at less than half the cost. Unless you genuinely need the extra compute and RAM, switching to a right-sized alternative will save $1,100-$1,900/month.
Cheapest comparable option with 64GB RAM and 16vCPU, includes 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth overage pricing at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: PostgreSQL instead of MySQL; verify your application can migrate or if you need MySQL specifically.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 64GB | $782.2/mo | 64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 64 GB - Standalone | $950/mo | 64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD | Visit |
| OVHcloud | Analytics - OpenSearch · Discovery-B3-64 | $1181.87/mo |
Solid mid-market option with 64GB/16vCPU, 1280GB SSD storage, and 99.99% SLA; Akamai backing provides reliability.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; verify exact tier availability and add backup costs (20-25% surcharge).
Native MySQL match with 64GB/16vCPU, 1.28-6.4TB usable storage, and 99.99% SLA; European/global presence.
Caveat: Still 30% cheaper than Vultr but requires separate IPv4 billing; verify APAC region egress policy if you use that region.
Same price and specs as MySQL tier; PostgreSQL alternative if you can migrate workloads.
Caveat: Same caveats as MySQL tier; database engine swap required.
Managed PostgreSQL with 61GB RAM, 1TB storage, and higher reliability than Essential tier; good for teams already on Heroku.
Caveat: PostgreSQL only; SLA not separately published for Standard tier; Postgres Essential has only 99.5% SLA (avoid); add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.
