Laravel Forge Droplet recommendation

I'm about to swap over to a forge managed server and wondering about the droplet size. There would be about 4 or 5 laravel sites, with at most 100 users using each site in total not concurrently. 2 or 3 membership sites and 2 basic business information sites. Any advise would be appreciated

Thanks but I had already gone through them and the last link he was looking at massive numbers of users. I was asking here as I was hoping some other Laravel specific developers would have more insight into recommendations

Just curious, have you considered Vapor, since it can auto scale up if needed.

But remember, you can easily scale up on D.O. also, just not auto.

Vapors cost are a little over the budget for the projects at the moment. I'm just trying to find a baseline for running the projects initially. Ive used the minimum droplet for a few standard html based sites with no issues but a bit out of place with running needs when it comes to laravel sites with user logins, blogs, messaging etc
