Is Vultr's PostgreSQL GP 96vCPU/256GB (0 rep) the best deal?

Managed Databases · $11520/mo (256 GB RAM, 96 vCPU, 1280 GB)

Better deals exist

Vultr's PostgreSQL GP 96vCPU/256GB plan at $11,520/mo is significantly overpriced compared to direct alternatives. OVHcloud's Managed Database PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-256 delivers identical RAM and storage at less than half the cost, though with fewer vCPUs (64 vs 96). Even accounting for hidden costs and regional limitations, OVHcloud and other providers offer substantially better value for comparable workloads.

Managed Database - PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-256

$5406/mosave 53%

Matches 256GB RAM and storage tier at less than half Vultr's price with 99.99% SLA and 16 Gbps network.

Caveat: 64 vCPU vs Vultr's 96; region-locked to Milan/Paris; IPv4 and potential APAC egress charges apply after mid-2026.

Managed Database - MySQL Discovery-B3-256

$5406/mosave 53%

Identical specs and pricing to PostgreSQL tier; same 99.99% SLA and network performance.

Caveat: MySQL instead of PostgreSQL; 64 vCPU vs 96; region and egress constraints as above.

Analytics - ClickHouse Discovery-B3-256

$4546/mosave 60%

Lowest-cost 256GB RAM option with 99.99% SLA; best for analytics or time-series workloads.

Caveat: ClickHouse, not PostgreSQL; 64 vCPU; storage range 100GB-40TB is less predictable; Milan/Paris only.

Heroku Postgres Standard-7

$3500/mosave 70%

Cheapest managed option with 244GB RAM, 2TB storage, and higher connection limits (500 max).

Caveat: Only 2 vCPU equivalent; 99.5% SLA on Essential tier (hidden reliability cliff); Advanced tier pricing not published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.

Before you switch

Vultr's 96 vCPU spec is a significant advantage over OVHcloud's 64 vCPU; verify your workload actually needs that compute before switching.
OVHcloud options are region-locked to Milan/Paris; confirm data residency and latency requirements.
OVHcloud's APAC egress charges kick in mid-2026; factor in potential bandwidth cost increases if you serve Asia-Pacific.
Heroku's Standard-7 has only 2 vCPU and 99.5% SLA on Essential tier; only viable if you don't need high compute or strict uptime.
Confirm Vultr's bandwidth overage rates and whether you're hitting them; hidden egress costs may narrow the gap.
OVHcloud requires separate IPv4 billing; request a full quote including all add-ons before committing.
