Managed Databases · $5760/mo (192 GB RAM, 64 vCPU, 960 GB)
Vultr's $5760/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a single-node PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs at 30-50% of the cost, with better transparency and higher SLAs. You should strongly consider switching unless you have specific Vultr infrastructure lock-in.
Delivers 128GB RAM (vs Vultr's 192GB) at 68% lower cost with published 99.99% SLA and straightforward $0.01/GB bandwidth overage pricing.
Caveat: Half the vCPU count (32 vs 64) and smaller disk (128GB vs 960GB), so workload fit matters; verify CPU performance requirements before migrating.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL General Purpose 128GB | $1825.4/mo | 128 GB RAM, 32 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Dedicated G7 96 GB - Standalone | $1965/mo | 96 GB RAM, 48 vCPU, 1920 GB NVMe | Visit |
| Heroku | Heroku Postgres · Standard-6 | $2000/mo |
96GB RAM, 48 vCPU, and 1920GB NVMe storage at 66% savings with 99.99% SLA and transparent $0.005/GB bandwidth overage.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from node pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% of base price).
122GB RAM, 1.5TB disk, and 500 max connections at 65% lower cost with managed ops and fork/follow capabilities.
Caveat: SLA not separately published for Standard tier; Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact; Private Spaces carry 2-3x premium.
128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB usable storage at 53% savings with 99.99% SLA and 8 Gbps public/private bandwidth.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; region-limited to Milan/Paris.
Identical specs to PostgreSQL option (128GB RAM, 32 vCPU, 2.56-12.8TB storage) at 53% savings if MySQL is acceptable for your workload.
Caveat: Same regional and IPv4 billing caveats as PostgreSQL tier; verify MySQL compatibility before migration.
