Currently,
For the simple purpose of baseline comparison (I always prefer a bit of headroom, so the Linode plan I’m on is a step up from the basic requirements), I’m on 2GB Ram and 50GB Storage ($10/month).
My $10/mo Linode plan would be more comparable to Digital Ocean’s $12/month for 2GB RAM and 50 GB Storage plan.
For 1GB RAM and 25GB Storage, Linode is $5/mo. and Digital Ocean is $6/mo.
On either plan, backups on both Linode and Digital Ocean are the same – an additional $2.50/mo.
Obviously, both of these are in the category of DIY/Self-Hosted.
