Managed Databases · $180/mo (4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan at $180/mo is significantly overpriced for a managed in-memory database. OVHcloud offers the same 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU Valkey tier at $55.77/mo (69% cheaper), and multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at $30-65/mo. Unless you need Vultr-specific features or data-center lock-in, switching will yield substantial savings.
Identical specs (4GB RAM, 2 vCPU, in-memory) at one-third the price, with 99.99% SLA and single-node simplicity.
Caveat: APAC region egress loses free status after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
4GB RAM at $55/mo with 99.95% SLA; if you can use PostgreSQL instead of Valkey, this is a strong alternative.
Caveat: Persistent disk storage and bandwidth overages billed separately; exact overage rate not clearly documented.
4GB RAM / 2 vCPU standalone at $65/mo with 99.99% SLA and 80GB SSD; price is estimated from pattern, not directly confirmed.
Caveat: Spec is ESTIMATED and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
4GB RAM / 2 vCPU PostgreSQL with 80-240GB usable storage at $64.24/mo and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free tier after mid-2026.
4GB RAM / 2 vCPU MySQL with 80-240GB usable storage, 250 Mbps throughput, and 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; additional storage billed at $0.0004/GB/hr; APAC egress loses free tier after mid-2026.
