How we count
This report is rewritten by every refresh until November 2026 ends, and after that it is never changed. This version was written from the refresh of 1 Nov 2026.
A move is a price that ended the month somewhere other than where it started it, in the provider's own currency, so an exchange rate moving is not a move, and a price that went down and back up again is not one either.
The cheapest of a tier is a price that could lead a ranking on the day: the provider shows it as available and its prices were read in the last three days.
Every price is the provider's own monthly price, excluding tax, converted to US dollars at the day's ECB rate. The typical price and the cheapest are over paid single-node Postgres of a stated size: a standby pair is a different purchase, and a typical price across Postgres, a Kafka cluster and a Valkey cache would describe none of them.
A price held by the price gate, or not yet a week old, is never called the cheapest of its month; it is counted in the typical price. The lists name each provider once.
