Managed Databases · $18/mo (1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 32 GB)
Vultr's $18/mo PostgreSQL plan is moderately priced but undercut by several stronger alternatives. Scaleway and Azure offer lower base prices with more RAM, while DigitalOcean and Linode provide comparable specs at $15-16/mo with clearer pricing. Consider your workload type and HA requirements before switching.
Lowest base price at $11/mo with double the RAM (2GB vs 1GB) and same vCPU, ideal for development and light production workloads.
Caveat: Development/prototyping tier only with no HA replica; not suitable for mission-critical deployments requiring high availability.
| 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 · Valkey Basic 1GB | $15/mo |
Burstable tier at $12.41/mo with 2GB RAM and strong 99.99% SLA; storage and backup billed separately but transparent.
Caveat: Storage (~$0.115/GB/mo) and backup costs add up quickly; no reserved-instance discounts available on burstable tier; outbound bandwidth charged above 100GB/month.
Matches Vultr's 1GB RAM and 1 vCPU at $15/mo with 10GB disk and clear 99.99% SLA; straightforward bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: Note this is Valkey (Redis-compatible), not PostgreSQL; if you need PostgreSQL specifically, this is not a direct replacement.
Confirmed $16/mo for 1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25GB SSD with 99.99% SLA and transparent $0.005/GB bandwidth overage.
Caveat: Standalone (no HA replica); backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% of instance price); HA clusters cost 2-3x more.
Matches Vultr at $15/mo with 1GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 40GB disk, and 100GB transfer included; simple pricing model.
Caveat: No data encryption; bandwidth overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); 99.9% SLA is lower than competitors; Windows bundles cost significantly more.
