Managed Databases · $110/mo (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced compared to direct competitors offering similar or better specs. Multiple providers offer 2GB RAM managed databases at 70-85% lower cost, though most sacrifice one vCPU or add hidden bandwidth/storage charges. UpCloud and OVHcloud deliver matching or superior specs at roughly 73% discount.
Matches Vultr's 2GB RAM and includes 25GB SSD storage, 24h backups, and 99.999% SLA (vs Vultr's undisclosed SLA) for 73% less.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA replica like Vultr); backup add-ons cost 10-60% surcharge depending on frequency; data transfer overages possible despite fair-use policy.
| 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 |
Exceeds Vultr with 4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA for half the price; in-memory Valkey (Redis-compatible) is purpose-built for caching workloads.
Caveat: Single node (no HA); APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
Delivers 2GB RAM, 1 vCPU, 3-node cluster (HA included), 10-100GB storage, and 99.99% SLA for 51% savings vs Vultr's single-replica model.
Caveat: MongoDB, not Valkey; APAC egress loses free tier after mid-2026; per-node billing at $0.0247/hr can add up if scaled.
Includes HA, backups, and connection pooling at 65% discount; 2 vCPU shared CPU is adequate for most workloads and storage is billed separately at transparent $0.28/GB.
Caveat: Only 1GB RAM (vs Vultr's 2GB); no published platform SLA; regional pricing varies; stopped machines still incur $0.15/GB rootfs storage.
Doubles Vultr's RAM to 4GB, adds 64GB disk, 120 max connections, and HA for 55% less; mature platform with strong reliability track record.
Caveat: 99.5% SLA on Essential tier (hidden cliff); Essential tier lacks fork/follow and HA; add-on overages can force unplanned tier upgrades; Advanced tier pricing not published.
