The average cost associated with a managed database at the time of writing this is around $15.00/ month, that gives you 15 GiB of disk space and 1 GiB of memory/RAM and 1 cpu. They also give you a host of backup and data recovery options, keeping your information safe, secure and backed up. When you need more space it is easy to increase the size of the database.
The earlier a Managed Database is set up the less costly this will end up being, ideally it is best to set this up right from the start.
