Aiven
one flat $150 across six different clouds, with networking genuinely free — and recovery behind a paywall.
the most portable option here and genuinely all-inclusive on networking — with point-in-time recovery you can only buy by upgrading tier.
aiven runs the same managed postgres across aws, google cloud, azure, digitalocean, ovh and upcloud, which no other vendor here matches. the startup-8 plan bundles exactly our anchor spec — 2 cpu, 8gb, 100gb ssd — at a flat $150 with all networking included, so the bill is the plan price and nothing else.
there's a real free tier too: a dedicated 1 cpu, 1gb vm with 1gb storage, though aiven reserves the right to shut down unused free services.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.
