Is Fly.io's Africa / India - public egress the best deal?

Private Networking / Egress · $0.12/mo (1 GB transfer)

Competitively priced

Fly.io's Africa/India egress at $0.12/GB is reasonable for that region, but Oracle Cloud's legacy $0.01/mo overage rate appears cheaper on paper—however, it applies only after 10TB free, making it irrelevant for small transfers. Both providers have substantial hidden costs (machine pricing, storage, cross-region traffic) that dwarf the egress line item; the real cost depends heavily on your compute footprint and region choices.

Outbound Data Transfer (legacy overage, post-10TB free)

$0.01/mo

Advertised rate is dramatically lower ($0.01 vs $0.12/GB), but only kicks in after 10TB monthly free allowance.

Caveat: This legacy pricing ends in 2026; only valuable if you exceed 10TB/month egress, which is rare for most workloads.

Before you switch

Fly.io's $0.12/GB Africa/India egress is per-GB on top of machine costs; verify your actual monthly transfer volume before comparing headline rates.
Oracle's 10TB free allowance makes the $0.01 rate irrelevant unless you're a heavy egress user; for <10TB/month, you pay $0.
Both providers charge separately for compute, storage, and cross-region traffic; request a full bill estimate for your actual workload (region, machine size, snapshot/volume usage) to compare true TCO.
Oracle's legacy pricing expires in 2026; if you plan multi-year, factor in future rate changes.
Fly.io's per-region machine pricing premiums and extra RAM charges ($5/GB/month) can exceed egress costs; confirm your target region's compute rates.
