Managed Databases · $60/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB)
Vultr's $60/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a single-node managed database. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB+ disk) at $30-65/mo, with several delivering higher availability SLAs and more transparent pricing. The best value depends on your workload's HA requirements and data transfer patterns.
Exactly matches Vultr's specs (2vCPU, 4GB RAM, 80GB disk) at half the price with 100GB monthly transfer included and 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Data transfer overages are region-dependent ($0.09-0.132/GB) and can add up quickly if you exceed the 100GB allowance.
| 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 and disk (4GB/64GB) at $50/mo with higher connection limits (120) and published SLA, though lower than Vultr's implied reliability.
Caveat: Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier lacks published advanced features; upgrading can force tier jumps if row/connection limits are hit.
Matches Vultr's 4GB RAM at $55/mo with 99.95% SLA and transparent per-second billing, avoiding renewal-price surprises.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage ($0.25/GB/mo) and bandwidth overages (~$0.15/GB) are billed separately; 1vCPU vs Vultr's 2vCPU is a notable downgrade.
Matches Vultr's specs (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB+ disk) at $64.24/mo with 99.99% SLA and transparent per-GB overage pricing for additional storage.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC region egress loses free status after mid-2026; single-node means no built-in HA despite higher SLA.
Matches Vultr's specs (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB SSD) at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA and clear bandwidth overage rates ($0.005/GB).
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
