Managed Databases · $158/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB)
Vultr's $158/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs (2GB RAM, 2vCPU, HA replicas) at 19-38% of Vultr's cost, with transparent pricing and no hidden Windows licensing traps.
Matches Vultr's 2GB RAM and 1vCPU at 81% lower cost; includes 24h backups and 99.999% SLA (vs Vultr's undisclosed SLA).
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA replica like Vultr's 2-replica setup); backup add-ons (Day/Week/Month/Year) add 10-60% surcharge; data transfer overages possible despite fair-use policy.
| 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 |
Includes HA, backups, and connection pooling at 76% savings; 2vCPU matches Vultr; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM (vs Vultr's 2GB); no published platform SLA; regional pricing varies; storage and extra RAM add significant per-GB costs.
Offers 4GB RAM and 2vCPU (exceeds Vultr specs) at 59% savings; 99.99% SLA; 3-node cluster for HA.
Caveat: MySQL, not PostgreSQL; storage overage billed at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
Exceeds Vultr with 4GB RAM and 64GB disk at 68% savings; includes HA and 120 max connections.
Caveat: Requires established billing history; Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Advanced tier pricing not published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.
3-node cluster with 2GB RAM and 1vCPU at 66% savings; 99.99% SLA; MongoDB (not PostgreSQL but comparable NoSQL alternative).
Caveat: MongoDB, not PostgreSQL; storage range 10-100GB with per-node hourly billing; IPv4 and Windows license surcharges apply; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
