Managed Databases · $180/mo (8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50 GB)
Vultr's MySQL GP plan at $180/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (2 vCPU, 4-8GB RAM) at $55-95/mo with better or equivalent SLAs. The best value comes from UpCloud's 99.999% SLA options or OVHcloud's MySQL tier, both under $65/mo.
Matches Vultr's 2 vCPU and 50GB disk at one-third the price, with industry-leading 99.999% SLA and same single-node architecture.
Caveat: Backup add-ons (10-60% surcharge) and data transfer overages beyond Fair Transfer Policy can increase costs; verify your backup strategy upfront.
2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 80-240GB usable storage at 64% less cost with 99.99% SLA and transparent per-GB overage pricing for additional storage.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; storage overages at $0.0004/GB/hr add up quickly if you exceed the tier.
2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 120GB disk (more than Vultr) at one-third the price with 100GB free transfer and data encryption included.
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); 99.9% SLA is lower than Vultr's implied tier; verify your region's egress costs.
2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, 80GB SSD at 64% savings with 99.99% SLA; pricing estimated from linear pattern but consistent with published Linode tiers.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed on Linode's site; outbound bandwidth overages at $0.005/GB; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
8GB RAM (matches Vultr) and 2 vCPU at 56% savings with 99.9-99.99% SLA; no high availability but suitable for non-critical workloads.
Caveat: Only 20GB SSD (vs Vultr's 50GB); non-HA tier; object storage egress fees apply; HA upgrade would cost significantly more.
