Managed Databases · $140/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 128 GB)
Vultr's $140/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU) at 45-65% lower cost, with stronger SLAs and more transparent pricing. The best value lies in OVHcloud and Linode, which match or exceed Vultr's hardware at roughly half the price.
Identical specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80-240GB storage) at less than half Vultr's price, with 99.99% SLA and 1-node single-region deployment.
Caveat: Storage overage billed separately at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
| 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 · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
Matches Vultr's RAM/vCPU (4GB/2 vCPU) with 80GB SSD at 54% discount and 99.99% SLA; transparent bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB.
Caveat: Price estimated from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
Matches Vultr's specs (4GB RAM, 64GB disk) at 64% lower cost with managed backups and connection pooling included.
Caveat: Essential tier (cheaper) has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier SLA not separately published; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades.
4GB RAM at 61% discount with 99.95% SLA; persistent disk and bandwidth billed separately but still competitive total cost.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage billed at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage roughly $0.15/GB; instances billed by the second, so partial-month charges apply.
Lowest sticker price at $30/mo for 2GB/1vCPU with 80GB disk and 100GB transfer included; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Specs are half Vultr's RAM/vCPU; data transfer overage varies by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); significant regional pricing variance.
