Managed Databases · $768/mo (48 GB RAM, 12 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced compared to comparable managed database options. You can save 26-74% by switching to OVHcloud's Valkey or PostgreSQL tiers, or consider DigitalOcean if you can work with 32GB/8vCPU specs instead of 48GB/12vCPU.
Same Valkey (Redis-compatible) database type with 32GB RAM and 8vCPU at less than 74% of Vultr's price, with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Specs are 32GB/8vCPU vs Vultr's 48GB/12vCPU; verify if the smaller tier meets your workload needs.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · PostgreSQL Basic Premium AMD 32GB | $397.1/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 32 GB - Standalone | $480/mo | 32 GB RAM, 8 vCPU, 640 GB SSD | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 32GB Standard | $490/mo |
If PostgreSQL is acceptable, OVHcloud offers 30GB RAM and 8vCPU at one-third less cost with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Different database engine (PostgreSQL vs Valkey); 30GB vs 48GB RAM; verify APAC region egress policy changes after mid-2026.
Cheapest option at under half Vultr's price with 32GB RAM, 8vCPU, and 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overages are transparent at $0.01/GB.
Caveat: PostgreSQL only (not Valkey); 32GB/8vCPU vs 48GB/12vCPU; confirm your workload fits the smaller spec.
37% savings with 32GB RAM, 8vCPU, 640GB SSD, and 99.99% SLA; outbound bandwidth is $0.005/GB after pooled allowance.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; backups and HA are separate add-ons that could add 20-50% to monthly cost.
Only 2% cheaper than Vultr with 30.5GB RAM and strong managed features including HA and backups included.
Caveat: Heroku Postgres Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier SLA not separately published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades.
