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 is OVHcloud's Valkey Discovery-B3-16 at $284/mo with nearly identical specs and same 99.99% SLA.
Same in-memory Valkey engine, 16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, and 99.99% SLA as Vultr but $41/mo cheaper with no replication overhead.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC egress loses free status after mid-2026.
| 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 transfer included, encrypted by default, and $80/mo cheaper than Vultr.
Caveat: Lower 99.9% SLA; data transfer overage rates vary by region ($0.09-$0.132/GB); only 480GB disk vs Vultr's unspecified capacity.
16GB RAM, 4 vCPU, 50GB SSD, 99.9-99.99% SLA, and less than half Vultr's price for relational databases.
Caveat: Different database engine (PostgreSQL/MySQL, not Valkey); egress billed at EUR 0.01/GB after 75GB free; not in-memory optimized.
16GB RAM, 6 vCPU (more cores than Vultr), 320GB SSD, 99.99% SLA, and $75/mo cheaper.
Caveat: Price is ESTIMATED from linear node pricing, not directly confirmed; HA clusters cost 2-3x more; outbound bandwidth billed at $0.005-$0.015/GB after allowance.
Cheapest option at $185/mo less than Vultr with 99.99% SLA and memory-optimized specs.
Caveat: Only 2 vCPU vs Vultr's 4; OpenSearch (search/analytics) not a direct Valkey replacement; 16GB RAM matches but compute is half.
