Managed Databases · $15/mo (1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 25 GB)
Vultr's $15/mo PostgreSQL plan is competitively priced but not the cheapest. Scaleway and Azure offer lower base prices with more RAM, though Scaleway lacks HA and Azure charges separately for storage/backup. For production workloads prioritizing reliability and included features, Vultr remains solid, but cost-conscious users should compare the trade-offs.
Saves $4/mo with double the RAM (2GB vs 1GB) and same vCPU, though disk is smaller (10GB vs 25GB).
Caveat: Development/prototyping only with no HA; not suitable for production workloads requiring high availability.
| 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 |
Saves $2.59/mo with 2GB RAM and burstable CPU, plus 99.99% SLA vs Vultr's implied lower tier.
Caveat: Storage and backup billed separately (~$0.115/GB/mo), and bandwidth overage charges apply above 100GB/month; total cost can exceed Vultr if storage needs grow.
Price-matched to Vultr at $15/mo with identical RAM and vCPU, plus 99.99% SLA and larger disk (10GB vs 25GB for Vultr).
Caveat: This is a Valkey (Redis-compatible) offering, not PostgreSQL; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB apply.
Matches Vultr's $15/mo with 40GB disk (vs 25GB) and 100GB transfer included, plus 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: No data encryption included; bandwidth overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and can exceed Vultr's; lower SLA than alternatives.
