Managed Databases · $375/mo (16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 320 GB)
Vultr's $375/mo plan is significantly overpriced for a managed PostgreSQL database. Multiple providers offer comparable or superior specs (8GB RAM, 2 vCPU, managed PostgreSQL) at 45-55% lower cost, with transparent pricing and strong SLAs. The Vultr plan's 0-replica configuration and lack of high availability also limits its appeal for production workloads.
Matches Vultr's 2 vCPU and 8GB RAM at 1/5 the price; includes 20GB SSD storage and transparent per-GB overage billing.
Caveat: Non-HA single-node only; storage is 20GB vs Vultr's 320GB, so suitable only for smaller databases.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Basic 8GB | $76.25/mo | 8 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XXS (non-HA) | $80/mo | 8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 20 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · General Purpose D2s |
2 vCPU, 8GB RAM managed PostgreSQL at 1/4 Vultr's price; 99.99% SLA and 38-55% discounts available on 1-3 year commitments.
Caveat: Compute-only estimate excludes storage; storage and bandwidth overages are billed separately and can add significant cost.
2 vCPU, 8GB RAM PostgreSQL at 1/4 Vultr's price; 99.95% SLA and straightforward per-second billing model.
Caveat: Storage is billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage rate (~$0.15/GB) and storage overage ($0.30/GB/month) can add up quickly.
2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 240GB disk at 1/3 Vultr's price; includes 200GB monthly transfer and data encryption.
Caveat: 99.9% SLA is lower than Vultr; bandwidth overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and can be expensive.
2 vCPU, 8GB RAM, 160-800GB usable storage at less than half Vultr's price; 99.99% SLA and flexible storage scaling.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA); APAC region egress loses free status after mid-2026; storage overage billed at $0.0004/GB/hr.
