Managed Databases · $18/mo (1 GB RAM, 1 vCPU)
Vultr's $18/mo Valkey plan is moderately priced but undercut by several stronger alternatives. Scaleway and Azure offer 2GB RAM for $11-12/mo with lower hidden costs, while DigitalOcean and Linode match or beat Vultr's price with comparable specs and transparent bandwidth policies.
Cheapest option with 2GB RAM (vs Vultr's 1GB) and 10GB SSD storage included; transparent egress pricing at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free.
Caveat: Development/prototyping tier only with no HA; not suitable for production workloads requiring high availability.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-DEV-S | $11/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 10 GB SSD | Visit |
| Microsoft Azure | Azure Database for PostgreSQL Flexible Server · Burstable B1ms | $12.41/mo | 2 GB RAM, 1 vCPU | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · Valkey Basic 1GB | $15/mo |
31% cheaper than Vultr with 2GB RAM, burstable CPU model, and 99.99% SLA; storage/backup billed separately but transparent.
Caveat: Storage and backup costs (~$0.115/GB/mo) are separate line items; burstable tier means CPU performance is not guaranteed.
17% cheaper than Vultr with identical 1GB RAM/1vCPU specs, 10GB disk included, and straightforward $0.01/GB bandwidth overage.
Caveat: Matches Vultr's RAM but offers no cost advantage on specs; mainly valuable for simpler billing transparency.
11% cheaper than Vultr with 1GB RAM, 25GB SSD (vs Vultr's unspecified disk), and 99.99% SLA; bandwidth overage at $0.005/GB is among the lowest.
Caveat: Standalone (no HA replica); backups and HA clusters are paid add-ons that can double the cost.
17% cheaper than Vultr with 1GB RAM, 40GB disk, and 100GB transfer included; flat pricing with no per-region variance.
Caveat: No data encryption; bandwidth overage at $0.09-0.132/GB is significantly higher than competitors; 99.9% SLA is lower than Vultr's implied tier.
