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 databases 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 ratio is poor compared to Linode, OVHcloud, and Scaleway.
Matches your 6 vCPU and offers 16GB RAM / 320GB SSD at 1/5 the price; 99.99% SLA and $0.005/GB bandwidth overage is competitive.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from pricing patterns, not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$50-62/mo).
| 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 |
15GB RAM / 4 vCPU / 320-960GB storage at 1/5 the price; 99.99% SLA and no per-GB bandwidth overage charges within EU.
Caveat: Lower vCPU count (4 vs 6); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; single node (no HA included).
16GB RAM / 4 vCPU / 480GB disk with 300GB monthly transfer included; 99.9% SLA and data encryption standard.
Caveat: Data transfer overage is steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); lower vCPU than Vultr plan.
32GB RAM / 4 vCPU with HA, backups, and connection pooling included; better for high-availability production workloads.
Caveat: Still $962/mo base; storage billed separately at $0.28/GB; regional pricing varies; no published platform SLA.
Cheapest option at $158/mo for 16GB RAM / 4 vCPU / 50GB SSD; 99.9-99.99% SLA depending on tier.
Caveat: Lowest specs (4 vCPU, 50GB disk vs Vultr's 6 vCPU, 448GB); 75GB free egress then EUR 0.01/GB; smallest storage may require monitoring.
