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

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

Better deals exist

Fly.io's Africa/India egress at $0.12/GB is significantly more expensive than commodity CDN and cloud egress rates. Both Bunny CDN and Oracle Cloud offer 10-100x cheaper per-GB rates for similar traffic patterns, though each carries distinct trade-offs around minimums, allowances, and service model.

Outbound Data Transfer (Prior policy: overage to internet)

$0.01/mosave 99%

Legacy overage rate of $0.01/GB is 12x cheaper than Fly.io's $0.12/GB, and includes 10TB free monthly allowance before any charge applies.

Caveat: Rate applies only to overage beyond 10TB free tier; policy changes to free egress in 2026, so this pricing window may close; requires careful architecture to avoid Block Volume VPU and other hidden compute charges.

CDN Europe & North America

$0.01/mosave 99%

Standard CDN rate of $0.01/GB is 12x cheaper than Fly.io and includes global edge caching, which can reduce origin egress entirely.

Caveat: $1/month minimum charge applies even at zero usage; CDN model is only cost-effective if your traffic pattern benefits from caching; Africa/India regions not explicitly covered in this tier.

Before you switch

Fly.io's $0.12/GB is a premium regional rate; verify whether your actual traffic originates in Africa/India or if you can route through cheaper regions.
Oracle's 10TB free allowance and legacy pricing may not apply to all service tiers or account types; confirm eligibility before migration.
Bunny CDN's $1 minimum and caching model suit content delivery, not general compute egress; ensure your workload is cache-friendly.
Cross-region private networking on Fly.io can also hit $0.12/GB; consider whether consolidating to a single region reduces hidden egress costs.
Check Fly.io's current region pricing matrix; Amsterdam base rates may differ significantly from Africa/India premiums in your use case.
