Managed Databases · $325/mo (32 GB RAM, 4 vCPU)
Vultr's Valkey plan is significantly overpriced for its specs. Multiple providers offer 16GB RAM with 4 vCPU for $140-$340/mo, roughly half the cost. The closest true competitor—OVHcloud's Valkey Discovery-B3-16 at $284—saves $41/mo while matching the in-memory database type and SLA.
Same database engine (Valkey/Redis-compatible), same 16GB RAM and 4 vCPU, matching 99.99% SLA, and $41/mo cheaper.
Caveat: APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DigitalOcean | Managed Databases · OpenSearch Memory Optimized 16GB | $140.1/mo | 16 GB RAM, 2 vCPU | Visit |
| Scaleway | Managed Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL · DB-PRO2-XS | $158/mo | 16 GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50 GB SSD | Visit |
| AWS Lightsail | Managed Databases · 16GB Standard | $245/mo |
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 300GB monthly transfer included, and $80/mo cheaper than Vultr.
Caveat: Lower 99.9% SLA; data transfer overages are steep ($0.09-$0.132/GB); half the RAM of Vultr's plan.
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50GB SSD, and $167/mo cheaper; works if PostgreSQL or MySQL fits your use case.
Caveat: Different database engines (not Valkey); 99.9-99.99% SLA varies by tier; egress charges apply after 75GB/mo free.
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU (more cores), 99.99% SLA, and $75/mo cheaper.
Caveat: Price is estimated from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; backups are a separate add-on.
Cheapest option at $185/mo less; 99.99% SLA and $0.01/GB bandwidth overage rate.
Caveat: Only 16GB RAM and 2 vCPU (half Vultr's specs); OpenSearch is a search/analytics engine, not a cache like Valkey.
