Managed Databases · $465/mo (16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 480 GB)
Vultr's $465/mo PostgreSQL plan is significantly overpriced compared to direct alternatives. OVHcloud PostgreSQL Discovery-B3-8 at $169/mo offers identical 2vCPU/8GB specs with 160-800GB usable storage for 64% less, and multiple providers deliver 8GB/2vCPU tiers for $76-$169/mo. The Vultr plan's 16GB RAM and 480GB disk are premium specs, but no comparable tier from competitors justifies the 2.7-5.8x price multiplier.
Exact PostgreSQL engine, 2vCPU/8GB RAM, 160-800GB usable storage, 99.99% SLA, and transparent per-GB overage pricing for storage.
Caveat: Only 8GB RAM vs Vultr's 16GB; storage is variable-tier rather than fixed 480GB, and IPv4 addresses billed separately.
| 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 |
PostgreSQL-native, 2vCPU/8GB, 20GB SSD at $80/mo with 99.9-99.99% SLA and simple bandwidth overage model.
Caveat: Only 20GB disk (vs Vultr's 480GB) and non-HA by default; suitable only if storage needs are modest.
PostgreSQL, 2vCPU/8GB RAM, 99.95% SLA, and persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month for flexibility.
Caveat: Storage and bandwidth overages are billed separately; total cost can exceed $100/mo if you need 480GB (adds ~$120/mo).
PostgreSQL, 2vCPU/8GB, 99.99% SLA, and 38-55% discounts available on 1-3 year reserved instances.
Caveat: Price is compute-only and excludes storage; storage and Premium SSD IOPS billed separately; total cost with 480GB storage will be significantly higher.
PostgreSQL option, 2vCPU/8GB, 240GB disk, 200GB transfer included, 99.9% SLA, and data encrypted at rest.
Caveat: Only 240GB disk (vs Vultr's 480GB); data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and can add up quickly.
