What the invoice adds
What each provider in this list bills beyond the monthly price, as it publishes it. None of it is in the prices above.
- Akamai Cloud (Linode)
- Publishes no metered rates beside its prices, which is not the same as charging nothing for them.
- DigitalOcean
- Extra disk $0.21 per GB a month; backup storage not published; outbound transfer not published. Disk beyond a size's included minimum, per GB a month, on Standard Edition clusters; $0.12 on Advanced Edition; standby nodes pay for their own copy.
- PlanetScale
- Publishes no metered rates beside its prices, which is not the same as charging nothing for them.
- Scaleway
- Extra disk $0.11 per GB a month; backup storage 3.4¢ per GB a month; outbound transfer not published. Every database needs a Block Storage volume, billed by the GB: the rate shown is 5K IOPS storage; faster 15K IOPS storage costs more.
How we count
A size is the RAM per node, counted as 2 GB when it is within a quarter of it. A single node is one server. Two nodes or more are a primary with the standbys that take over if it fails, and the price on the row is for all of them. The size is per node, because that is what your queries get.
A price is what one month costs, in the provider's own currency converted to dollars, excluding tax. A price read for the first time, or that moved a lot, is marked while a second reading checks it, and gives the lead to a price that is confirmed or a week old whenever the list has one.
Frequently asked
- What is the cheapest managed 2 GB MySQL?
- Scaleway DB-DEV-S, $12.77 a month on a single node, checked 21 Oct 2026. With a standby, DigitalOcean Basic Premium Intel at $122.25 a month.
- Do I need a standby for MySQL?
- A standby is a copy on its own node that takes over if the primary fails, so your app does not go down with one server. You pay for every node. A single node suits you where some downtime and a restore from backup are acceptable.
- Why do 2 GB MySQL prices differ so much?
- Single nodes here run from $12.77/mo to $40.75/mo for the same RAM, because what comes with it differs: the vCPU, whether the CPU is shared, and the disk, from 30 GB to 50 GB. Each row says what it includes.
- How current are these prices?
- They are read every day from each provider's own price list or API; the readings on this page are from 21 Oct 2026. Prices exclude tax.
