Managed Databases · $100/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB)
Vultr's $100/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a single-replica managed PostgreSQL instance. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB+ disk) at 35-65% lower cost, with stronger SLAs and more transparent pricing.
Exact spec match (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB+ storage) at $36/month less, with 99.99% SLA and transparent per-GB overage pricing.
Caveat: Single node (no HA replica); APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; IPv4 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 specs (4GB RAM, 2vCPU, 80GB SSD) at $35/month savings with 99.99% SLA and clear $0.005/GB overage rate.
Caveat: Price estimated from linear pattern, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~$13-16/mo).
Matches RAM and disk (4GB/64GB) at half Vultr's price with HA, 120 max connections, and established platform reliability.
Caveat: Essential tier (99.5% SLA) is a hidden reliability cliff; Standard tier SLA not published; add-on overages can force unplanned tier jumps; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
Matches 4GB RAM at $45/month less with 99.95% SLA and per-second billing (no waste on unused time).
Caveat: Only 1 vCPU (vs Vultr's 2); persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage rate unclear (~$0.15/GB estimated).
Lowest sticker price at $30/mo with 80GB disk, 100GB transfer included, and data encryption standard.
Caveat: Only 2GB RAM and 1 vCPU (half Vultr's specs); bandwidth overage $0.09-$0.132/GB is higher than competitors; 99.9% SLA; significant regional variance in pricing.
