Managed Databases · $9600/mo (192 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 960 GB)
Vultr's $9600/mo plan is significantly overpriced compared to managed database alternatives with similar or better specs. DigitalOcean, Linode, and OVHcloud all offer 96-128GB RAM with 32-48 vCPU for $1825-$2703/mo, representing 75-81% savings. The Vultr plan's 64 vCPU and 960GB disk are overkill for most workloads and drive the premium pricing.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, published 99.99% SLA, and transparent $0.01/GB bandwidth overage pricing with no surprise add-ons.
Caveat: PostgreSQL only (not MySQL); half the vCPU count, but sufficient for most production workloads.

96GB RAM, 48 dedicated vCPU, 1920GB NVMe (faster than Vultr's SSD), 99.99% SLA, and lower bandwidth overage rates ($0.005/GB).
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and 8 Gbps public/private bandwidth.
Caveat: Region-limited to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
Identical specs to MySQL variant (128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB storage) with 99.99% SLA and same bandwidth provisioning.
Caveat: Region-limited to Milan/Paris; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026.
122GB RAM, 1.5TB storage, 500 max connections, and published 99.99% SLA on Standard tier (vs Essential's 99.5%).
Caveat: Heroku Postgres Advanced tier pricing not published; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades; Private Spaces carry 2-3x premium.
