Managed Databases · $930/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 960 GB)
Vultr's $930/mo plan is significantly overpriced for managed MySQL. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (16-32GB RAM, 4-6 vCPU, 320GB+ storage) at 60-75% lower cost. Even accounting for hidden costs, alternatives like OVHcloud MySQL and Linode deliver substantially better value.
Matches Vultr's 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM at less than 36% of the price, with 320GB-1.6TB usable storage and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Storage is configurable but capped at 1.6TB (vs Vultr's 960GB fixed); APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Memory Optimized 16GB | $140.1/mo | 16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 16GB Standard | $245/mo |
Delivers 6 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 320GB SSD at 27% of Vultr's price with 99.99% SLA and $0.005/GB overage bandwidth.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB disk at 26% of Vultr's cost, includes 300GB monthly transfer and data encryption.
Caveat: Data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); 99.9% SLA is lower than Vultr's implied tier.
4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 50GB SSD at just 17% of Vultr's price with 99.9-99.99% SLA options.
Caveat: Storage is only 50GB (vs Vultr's 960GB), making it suitable only for smaller workloads; egress billed at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free.
Slightly higher base price but includes 32GB RAM, 4 vCPU, HA, backups, and connection pooling built-in; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: No published platform SLA; pricing varies by region; extra RAM beyond preset allocation billed separately; cross-region traffic carries per-GB charges.
