Managed Databases · $60/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan at $60/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed in-memory database. OVHcloud offers nearly identical specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU Valkey) for $55.77/mo, while Render and Heroku provide 4GB PostgreSQL alternatives in the $50-55 range with better reliability SLAs. For pure cost savings on equivalent specs, OVHcloud is the clear winner.
Identical 4GB RAM and 2 vCPU specs as Vultr, in-memory Valkey database, and $4.23/mo cheaper with 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Single-node only (no HA); APAC 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 |
4GB RAM, 1 vCPU PostgreSQL with 99.95% SLA for $55/mo, $5/mo cheaper than Vultr and includes persistent disk.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage and bandwidth overages billed separately (~$0.25/GB/mo and ~$0.15/GB); lower CPU count (1 vCPU vs 2).
4GB RAM, 64GB disk PostgreSQL for $50/mo, $10/mo cheaper than Vultr with higher reliability and managed backups included.
Caveat: Standard tier SLA not separately published; add-on overages can force unplanned upgrades; requires established payment history for performance dynos.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU MySQL with 80-240GB usable storage and 99.99% SLA, only $4.24 more than Vultr but includes persistent storage.
Caveat: Additional storage beyond range billed at $0.0004/GB/hr; single-node (no HA); IPv4 addresses billed separately.
4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80GB SSD standalone database with 99.99% SLA, only $5 more than Vultr with persistent storage included.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (~20-25% surcharge); outbound bandwidth billed at $0.005/GB after allowance.
