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 with comparable or better specs at 45-55% lower cost, though with smaller storage allocations. Even accounting for hidden costs and bandwidth overages, multiple providers deliver substantially better value.
PostgreSQL-specific, 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 320GB-1.6TB storage, 99.99% SLA at less than half Vultr's price.
Caveat: Storage is smaller than Vultr (max 1.6TB vs 640GB base, but scalable); APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026; IPv4 billed separately.
| 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 |
PostgreSQL-native, 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50GB SSD at 79% discount; includes 99.9-99.99% SLA options.
Caveat: Storage is significantly smaller (50GB vs 640GB); suitable only if you don't need the full 640GB capacity; egress billed at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free.
4 vCPU, 16GB RAM, 480GB disk, 300GB monthly transfer, data encrypted, 99.9% SLA at one-third Vultr's cost.
Caveat: Storage is smaller (480GB vs 640GB); data transfer overage is steep at $0.09-$0.132/GB depending on region; not a direct PostgreSQL product (generic managed database).
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU (more cores than Vultr), 320GB SSD, 99.99% SLA at two-thirds Vultr's price.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; storage is smaller (320GB vs 640GB); HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge).
Identical price to Vultr but includes 30.5GB RAM (vs 32GB), 768GB disk (vs 640GB), 500 max connections, and managed backups.
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.
