Managed Databases · $140/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB)
Vultr's $140/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM / 2vCPU equivalents at 45-55% of Vultr's cost, with comparable or better SLAs and reliability. Even accounting for hidden costs, you can save $70-90/month by switching.
Matches your 4GB RAM / 2vCPU / 80GB disk spec exactly at less than half Vultr's price, with 99.99% SLA and included storage scaling.
Caveat: APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
Identical specs and pricing to the MySQL tier if you're database-agnostic; 99.99% SLA and 80-240GB usable storage.
Caveat: Same APAC egress and IPv4 billing caveats as MySQL tier.
4GB RAM / 2vCPU / 80GB SSD at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA; transparent bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB after allowance.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more.
4GB RAM at $55/mo with 99.95% SLA; simpler pricing model with per-second billing avoids renewal surprises.
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU (vs your 2); persistent disk storage and bandwidth overages billed separately at $0.25/GB and ~$0.15/GB respectively.
4GB RAM / 64GB disk at $50/mo with managed backups and 120 max connections; mature platform with strong reliability.
Caveat: Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier SLA not separately published; tier upgrades can be forced by row/connection limit overages.
