Is Vultr's PostgreSQL GP 24vCPU/96GB (1 rep) the best deal?

Managed Databases · $3600/mo (96 GB RAM, 24 vCPU, 480 GB)

Better deals exist

Vultr's $3600/mo plan is significantly overpriced for managed PostgreSQL. DigitalOcean, Linode, and OVHcloud all offer PostgreSQL with 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU for $782-$1352/mo, representing 78-62% savings. The Vultr plan's 24 vCPU and 96GB RAM are overkill for most workloads; if you genuinely need that scale, the cost premium is steep but you're paying for higher specs, not better value.

Managed Databases PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 64GB

$782.2/mosave 78.3%

Cheapest PostgreSQL option with 64GB RAM and 16 vCPU, includes 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage pricing at $0.01/GB.

Caveat: Specs are 33% lower RAM and 33% fewer vCPU than Vultr; suitable if you don't need the extra capacity.

Managed Databases Shared 64 GB - Standalone

$950/mosave 73.6%

64GB RAM, 16 vCPU standalone instance with 1280GB SSD storage, 99.99% SLA, and lower bandwidth overage rates ($0.005/GB for compute).

Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern and not directly confirmed; add 20-25% if you need HA (3-node cluster); backups are a separate add-on.

Managed Database PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-64

$1351.6/mosave 62.4%

PostgreSQL with 64GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1.28-6.4TB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and 4 Gbps public/private bandwidth.

Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; still 62% cheaper than Vultr for comparable managed PostgreSQL.

Heroku Postgres Standard-5

$1400/mosave 61.1%

61GB RAM, 1TB storage, 500 max connections with managed PostgreSQL and no infrastructure overhead.

Caveat: SLA not separately published for Standard tier; Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no fork/follow; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.

Before you switch

Vultr's 24 vCPU/96GB plan is 1.5x the RAM and 1.5x the vCPU of alternatives; verify you actually need this scale before paying the premium.
Linode's price is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed from their pricing page; contact them to confirm exact managed database PostgreSQL pricing.
OVHcloud's APAC regions will lose free egress in mid-2026; factor in bandwidth costs if you're in that region.
DigitalOcean and Linode both charge for bandwidth overages; model your egress traffic to avoid surprise bills.
Heroku's Standard tier SLA is not separately published; contact sales if 99.99% uptime is a hard requirement.
