Managed Databases · $110/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB)
Vultr's $110/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at 27-73% lower cost, with similar or superior SLAs and reliability. The main trade-off is that cheaper tiers sacrifice either CPU cores, disk space, or high-availability replicas.
Matches Vultr's 2GB RAM and 2vCPU at 73% lower cost with 99.999% SLA and 24h backups included.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA replica like Vultr); backup add-ons (Day/Week/Month/Year) cost 10-60% surcharge; data transfer overages possible despite fair-use policy.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |

Includes HA, backups, and connection pooling at 65% savings; 2vCPU shared allocation and 1GB RAM base, with storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: Storage billed separately (80GB would add ~$22/mo); no published platform SLA; region-based pricing variance; extra RAM costs ~$5/GB/month.
Offers 4GB RAM and 64GB disk at 55% savings with 99.5% SLA and 120 max connections; more headroom for growth.
Caveat: Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA/fork/follow; Standard tier requires established billing history; Advanced tier pricing not published.
Doubles specs to 4GB RAM and 2vCPU with 80-240GB usable storage at 42% savings; 99.99% SLA and 3-node cluster.
Caveat: MySQL, not PostgreSQL; additional storage beyond 80GB billed at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
Lowest sticker price at 89% savings; 2GB RAM and 1vCPU with 99.99% SLA; storage and backup billed separately.
Caveat: Only 1vCPU (vs Vultr's 2); burstable CPU model (not guaranteed performance); storage/backup add ~$0.115/GB/mo; outbound bandwidth billed above 100GB/month; no reserved-instance discount available.
