Managed Databases · $432/mo (24 GB RAM, 6 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced compared to comparable managed in-memory database options. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM tiers at 35-66% lower cost, though none match the 6vCPU spec exactly. If you can work with 4vCPU, substantial savings are available.
Same Valkey (Redis-compatible) engine with 16GB RAM at less than two-thirds Vultr's price, with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Only 4vCPU vs Vultr's 6vCPU; single-node only (no replication included); IPv4 addresses billed separately.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch General Purpose 16GB | $197.35/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 16GB Standard | $245/mo |
Matches Vultr's 6vCPU and 16GB RAM at 42% discount, with 99.99% SLA and 320GB SSD storage.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear pricing pattern, not directly confirmed; HA clustering costs 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% of instance price).
43% cheaper with 16GB RAM, 4vCPU, 480GB disk, and 300GB monthly transfer included; 99.9% SLA.
Caveat: Only 4vCPU; data transfer overage rates are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB) and vary by region; no replication in base tier.
Lowest absolute price at 54% savings, with 16GB RAM, 4vCPU, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Only 4vCPU; OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not a general-purpose cache like Valkey; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB.
Cheapest option at 63% savings with 16GB RAM, 4vCPU, 50GB SSD, and 99.9-99.99% SLA depending on tier.
Caveat: Only 4vCPU; PostgreSQL/MySQL, not Valkey; public internet egress charged at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free; not a direct product match.
