Vultr PostgreSQL GP 96vCPU/256GB (1 rep): Better Deal Comparison

Comparing prices across every provider we track...

Better deals exist

Vultr's $19,200/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a single-replica managed database. OVHcloud's PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-256 at $5,406/mo offers identical RAM and storage at 72% lower cost, though with fewer vCPUs (64 vs 96). Even accounting for hidden costs and regional limitations, OVHcloud and other providers deliver substantially better value for comparable workloads.

Managed Database - PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-256

$5406/mosave 72%

Matches 256GB RAM and 5.12TB+ storage at less than one-third Vultr's price, with published 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 72%

Identical specs and pricing to PostgreSQL tier; same 72% savings if MySQL is acceptable for your workload.

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

Analytics - ClickHouse Discovery-B3-256

$4546/mosave 76%

Lowest absolute cost at 256GB RAM; best fit if your workload is analytics/OLAP rather than transactional OLTP.

Caveat: 64 vCPU vs Vultr's 96; only 100GB-40TB usable storage (vs 1.28TB+ on other OVH tiers); region-locked to Milan/Paris.

Postgres Standard-7

$3500/mosave 82%

Lowest price at 244GB RAM and 2TB disk; managed, highly available, and includes connection pooling.

Caveat: Only 244GB vs 256GB RAM; SLA not separately published for Standard tier; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; requires established billing history.

Managed Databases Dedicated G7 128 GB - Standalone

$2620/mosave 86%

Cheapest option with 128GB RAM, 50 vCPU, and 2.56TB NVMe; 99.99% SLA and transparent bandwidth pricing.

Caveat: ESTIMATED price from linear pattern, not directly confirmed; half the RAM and vCPU of Vultr; HA (3-node) would cost 2-3x more; backups and bandwidth overages are separate charges.

Before you switch

Vultr's 96 vCPU is overkill for most single-replica workloads; OVHcloud's 64 vCPU is likely sufficient and saves 72%.
Linode's $2,620 price is ESTIMATED from a pricing pattern and not directly confirmed; verify current rates before committing.
OVHcloud's region lock (Milan/Paris) and upcoming APAC egress billing changes (mid-2026) may affect multi-region deployments.
Heroku's Standard-7 SLA is not separately published; confirm uptime guarantees match your requirements vs OVHcloud's published 99.99%.
All OVHcloud alternatives charge IPv4 addresses separately; factor in ~$2-5/mo per address if not already included.
Linode's HA (3-node) clusters cost 2-3x the single-node price; if high availability is required, recalculate total cost of ownership.
