Managed Databases · $1260/mo (24 GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 448 GB)
Vultr's $1260/mo plan is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM / 4-6 vCPU managed PostgreSQL at $158-$284/mo, a 75-87% discount. Even accounting for Vultr's higher specs (24GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 448GB disk), the price-to-performance gap is extreme and unjustifiable in the managed database market.
Matches your 6 vCPU and includes 320GB SSD; pricing is ESTIMATED from node patterns but aligns with published Linode rates, and 99.99% SLA beats Vultr's implied tier.
Caveat: Spec is not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$50-62/mo); bandwidth overages at $0.005-0.015/GB after pooled allowance.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB | $197.35/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 16GB Standard | $245/mo |
Native PostgreSQL at 15GB RAM / 4 vCPU / 320-960GB storage for 80% less; 99.99% SLA and straightforward pricing with no surprise bandwidth overages on private network.
Caveat: Lower vCPU count (4 vs 6); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
16GB RAM / 4 vCPU / 480GB disk with 300GB monthly transfer included; 99.9% SLA and data encryption standard.
Caveat: Lower vCPU (4 vs 6); data transfer overages spike to $0.09-0.132/GB depending on AWS region; regional pricing variance can be significant.
Cheapest option at 16GB RAM / 4 vCPU; 99.99% SLA and simple bandwidth overage model ($0.01/GB after pooled allowance).
Caveat: Lower vCPU (4 vs 6) and this is OpenSearch, not PostgreSQL; verify database engine compatibility with your workload.
Lowest sticker price at 16GB RAM / 4 vCPU / 50GB SSD; native PostgreSQL support and 99.9-99.99% SLA depending on tier.
Caveat: Significantly lower specs (4 vCPU vs 6, 50GB disk vs 448GB); egress from Object Storage charged at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free; verify storage scaling options for your use case.
