Managed Databases · $1300/mo (128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced for managed in-memory databases. Multiple providers offer comparable or better specs at substantially lower costs, with OVHcloud's Valkey Production B3-64 being the closest match despite still costing 75% more, and DigitalOcean offering the best value if you can work with 64GB instead of 128GB.
Less than half Vultr's price with 99.99% SLA, though RAM is halved (64GB vs 128GB) and vCPU is halved (8 vs 16).
Caveat: This is OpenSearch, not Valkey/Redis, so workload compatibility must be verified; only half the memory and compute resources.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Memory Optimized 64GB | $566.85/mo | 64 GB RAM, 8 vCPU | Visit |
| Linode (Akamai) | Managed Databases · Shared 64 GB - Standalone | $950/mo | 64 GB RAM, 16 vCPU, 1280 GB SSD | Visit |
| OVHcloud | Analytics - OpenSearch · Discovery-B3-64 | $1181.87/mo |
Matches vCPU (16) and offers 64GB RAM at 27% savings with 99.99% SLA and 1280GB SSD storage.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing and not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on (20-25% surcharge); half the RAM of Vultr's plan.
Closest product match (Valkey/Redis-compatible) with matching 16 vCPU and 99.99% SLA, but costs 75% more than Vultr.
Caveat: Only 64GB RAM vs Vultr's 128GB; 2-node cluster vs Vultr's single node; IPv4 and potential APAC egress charges apply after mid-2026.
If PostgreSQL is acceptable, OVHcloud undercuts Vultr by 4% with matching 16 vCPU and 1.28-6.4TB storage.
Caveat: Only 64GB RAM vs 128GB; different database engine; IPv4 and potential APAC egress charges apply after mid-2026.
