Is Fly.io's Africa / India - private cross-region the best deal?

Private Networking / Egress · $0.05/mo (1 GB transfer)

Competitively priced

Fly.io's Africa/India private networking at $0.05/mo per GB is aggressively priced for that specific region pair, but Oracle's legacy $0.01/mo overage rate appears cheaper on paper. However, Oracle's offer is a legacy policy ending in 2026, includes only 10TB free before overages apply, and their hidden costs (VPU billing, storage tiers, retrieval fees) often exceed stated prices in real workloads. Fly.io is simpler and more transparent for small-scale cross-region private traffic.

Outbound Data Transfer (legacy overage policy)

$0.01/mosave 80%

Sticker price is $0.01/mo versus Fly.io's $0.05/mo, and includes 10TB free allowance before any per-GB charge kicks in.

Caveat: This legacy pricing ends in 2026; Oracle's per-GB rate applies only after 10TB free, and hidden costs (VPU, storage retrieval, minimum retention) often inflate real bills significantly beyond the stated rate.

Before you switch

Fly.io's $0.05/GB applies to every GB of Africa/India cross-region private traffic with no free allowance; Oracle's $0.01/GB only applies after 10TB free, so Oracle is only cheaper if you exceed 10TB/month.
Oracle's legacy egress pricing expires in 2026; verify current policy before committing long-term.
Oracle's Block Volume VPU and storage retrieval fees are billed separately and often exceed raw egress costs; request a full TCO estimate for your workload.
Fly.io charges are per-second prorated and clearly itemized; Oracle's hidden costs require careful audit of invoices.
If your Africa/India cross-region traffic is under ~200GB/month, Fly.io's simplicity and transparency may outweigh Oracle's lower headline rate.
