Managed Databases · $90/mo (4 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 30 GB)
Vultr's $90/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer 4GB RAM / 1-2 vCPU tiers at $30-65/mo with comparable or better specs, storage, and SLAs. Even accounting for hidden costs, you're paying 40-66% more at Vultr.
Matches your 1 vCPU and includes 25GB disk with 24h backups; 99.999% SLA beats Vultr's implied tier.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM vs your 4GB; backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data transfer overages can add cost; single-node has no HA.
| 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 · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
Includes 80GB disk and 100GB monthly transfer; 99.9% SLA; straightforward pricing with no surprise Windows license fees.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM; data transfer overage at $0.09-0.132/GB can add up if you exceed 100GB/mo; single-node only.
Matches your 4GB RAM and adds 2 vCPU; 80-240GB usable storage; 99.99% SLA; only $26/mo less than Vultr.
Caveat: 2 vCPU may be overkill if you only need 1; IPv4 and storage overages billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Matches 4GB RAM with 2 vCPU and 80GB SSD; 99.99% SLA; $25/mo cheaper than Vultr with more transparent pricing.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge); HA clusters cost 2-3x more.
Matches 4GB RAM and 64GB disk; 99.5% SLA on Standard tier; $40/mo cheaper than Vultr with managed backups included.
Caveat: Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
