Managed Databases · $400/mo (16 GB RAM, 6 vCPU, 320 GB)
Vultr's PostgreSQL plan is premium-priced but offers strong specs (6 vCPU, 320GB disk, 1 replica included). Several cheaper alternatives exist with lower RAM/CPU, but no direct spec-for-spec match at lower cost. AWS Lightsail and OVHcloud PostgreSQL come closest in value if you can accept 4 vCPU and smaller disk.
Matches your 16GB RAM and includes 480GB disk with 300GB monthly transfer; 39% cheaper than Vultr despite lower vCPU (4 vs 6).
Caveat: Data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); no built-in replication like Vultr's 1-replica plan.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 8GB | $76.25/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 8 GB - Standalone | $130/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 160 GB SSD | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo |
15GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 320-960GB usable storage at 36% savings; strong SLA (99.99%) and European data residency if relevant.
Caveat: Lower vCPU (4 vs 6); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 billed separately.
50% cheaper at $200/mo with 8GB RAM and 256GB disk; includes HA, backups, and connection pooling.
Caveat: Only 8GB RAM vs your 16GB; Standard tier SLA not published separately; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; lower vCPU than Vultr.
56% cheaper with 2-node HA cluster, excellent 99.999% SLA, and transparent pricing model.
Caveat: MySQL only (not PostgreSQL); 8GB RAM per node vs your 16GB; backup add-ons cost 10-60% surcharge; data transfer overages possible despite 'fair use' claims.
60% cheaper with 16GB RAM match, 50GB SSD, and 99.9-99.99% SLA depending on tier.
Caveat: Only 4 vCPU vs your 6; 50GB disk is much smaller than Vultr's 320GB; egress beyond 75GB/mo costs EUR 0.01/GB; dedicated control plane is paid add-on.
