Is Vultr's MySQL GP 24vCPU/96GB (1 rep) the best deal?

Managed Databases · $3600/mo (96 GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 480 GB)

Better deals exist

Vultr's $3600/mo plan is significantly overpriced for managed databases. Multiple providers offer 64GB RAM / 16 vCPU tiers at 78-62% discounts, though none match Vultr's 24 vCPU / 96GB RAM spec exactly. If you can work with the smaller tier, savings are substantial; if you need the full 24 vCPU power, Vultr has limited direct competition.

Managed Databases PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 64GB

$782.2/mosave 78.3%

Cheapest comparable managed database option with 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are transparent at $0.01/GB.

Caveat: Spec is 64GB RAM / 16 vCPU (one-third Vultr's compute and memory); PostgreSQL instead of MySQL if that matters to your workload.

Managed Databases Shared 64 GB - Standalone

$950/mosave 73.6%

Second-cheapest option with 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280GB SSD storage, and 99.99% SLA; Akamai backing provides strong infrastructure.

Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern and not directly confirmed; backups and HA clustering are separate add-ons that can increase cost by 20-50%.

Managed Database - MySQL Discovery-B3-64

$1351.6/mosave 62.4%

OVHcloud's MySQL tier matches DigitalOcean's spec (64GB RAM, 16 vCPU) with larger usable storage (1.28-6.4TB) and 99.99% SLA.

Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; Windows license surcharge applies if needed.

Managed Database - PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-64

$1351.6/mosave 62.4%

PostgreSQL alternative to the MySQL tier with identical pricing, 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, and 1.28-6.4TB usable storage.

Caveat: Same caveats as MySQL tier; PostgreSQL instead of MySQL.

Heroku Postgres Standard-5

$1400/mosave 61.1%

Managed PostgreSQL with 61GB RAM, 1TB storage, and higher reliability than Essential tier; good for teams already on Heroku.

Caveat: SLA not separately published for Standard tier; Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.

Before you switch

Vultr's 24 vCPU / 96GB RAM spec has no direct equivalent in the alternatives; all listed options are 16 vCPU / 64GB RAM. Verify whether you actually need the extra compute or if it is over-provisioned.
Linode's price is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed; contact Linode to verify exact pricing before committing.
OVHcloud's APAC regions will lose free egress after mid-2026, which could increase bandwidth costs significantly if you operate there.
Heroku's Standard tier SLA is not separately published; confirm uptime guarantees in writing before migration.
All alternatives charge separately for backups, HA clustering, or bandwidth overages; factor these into total cost of ownership.
