Managed Databases · $140/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan at $140/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed in-memory database. OVHcloud offers the same 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU Valkey tier at $55.77/mo (60% cheaper), and multiple providers offer comparable 4GB/2vCPU database options in the $55-70 range. Unless you need Vultr-specific features or regional availability, switching will yield substantial savings.
Identical specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, in-memory) at less than 40% of Vultr's price, with 99.99% SLA and single-node reliability.
Caveat: APAC region egress loses free status after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
| 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 · OpenSearch Basic 2GB |
If you need a relational database instead of in-memory, 4GB/2vCPU with 80-240GB storage at 54% savings and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Single-node (no HA); storage overage billed at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC egress charges after mid-2026.
4GB RAM / 2 vCPU with 80GB SSD at 54% savings; 99.99% SLA and well-established managed database service.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
4GB RAM / 1 vCPU PostgreSQL at 61% savings with 99.95% SLA; simple pricing and developer-friendly platform.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage billed separately at $0.25/GB/month; bandwidth overage at ~$0.15/GB; storage overage at ~$0.30/GB/month.
4GB RAM / 64GB disk PostgreSQL at 64% savings; mature, battle-tested platform with strong developer ecosystem.
Caveat: Essential tier has only 99.5% SLA and no HA; Standard tier SLA not published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; requires established billing history for performance dynos.
