Managed Databases · $750/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 640 GB)
Vultr's $750/mo PostgreSQL plan is significantly overpriced compared to direct PostgreSQL alternatives. OVHcloud and Scaleway offer PostgreSQL at 45% of Vultr's cost with comparable or better specs, though you'll sacrifice some RAM and storage. Even accounting for hidden costs, multiple providers deliver substantially better value.
Native PostgreSQL at 21% of Vultr's price with 4 vCPU and 16GB RAM; storage is lower (50GB vs 640GB) but sufficient for most workloads.
Caveat: Storage is significantly reduced; egress traffic beyond 75GB/month incurs EUR 0.01/GB charges; SLA is 99.9% vs Vultr's unstated SLA.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Memory Optimized 16GB | $140.1/mo | 16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 16GB Standard | $245/mo |
Native PostgreSQL with 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, and 320GB-1.6TB usable storage at 45% of Vultr's cost; 99.99% SLA matches or exceeds Vultr.
Caveat: RAM is halved (16GB vs 32GB); storage range is lower; IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
Managed database with 4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB disk, and 300GB monthly transfer included; 67% cheaper than Vultr with strong encryption.
Caveat: RAM is halved; data transfer overage is expensive ($0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region); SLA is 99.9%; storage is lower than Vultr.
Managed database with 6 vCPU (more than Vultr), 16GB RAM, 320GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA at 33% of Vultr's cost.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED from pricing patterns, not directly confirmed; RAM is halved; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; outbound bandwidth is $0.005-$0.015/GB after allowance.
Matches Vultr's price exactly but offers 30.5GB RAM (vs 32GB), 768GB disk (vs 640GB), and includes HA, backups, and 500 max connections.
Caveat: No published SLA for Standard tier; Essential tier has only 99.5% uptime; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; Advanced tier pricing requires sales contact.
