Load Balancers · $7.49/mo
Hetzner's LB11 at $7.49/mo is competitively priced for entry-level load balancing in EU regions, but recent 36-39% price increases and hidden setup fees on related products warrant comparison. OVHcloud's Load Balancer S and Vultr's Regional LB offer similar or better specs at comparable or slightly higher prices with more transparent billing.
Slightly cheaper than Hetzner LB11 with 200GB transfer included, 250 conn/s, and 10k req/s; published 99.99% SLA vs Hetzner's undisclosed availability.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; requires verification that 200GB transfer meets your needs vs Hetzner's unspecified allowance.
Flat $10/mo with published 100% network uptime SLA; no per-connection or per-service limits stated, offering potential headroom for growth beyond Hetzner's 25-service cap.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license costs extra; total cost depends on your traffic patterns and region selection.
Flat $10/mo with 99.99% SLA and pooled network transfer allowance; simpler pricing model than Hetzner's recent increases.
Caveat: Outbound transfer beyond allowance costs $0.015/GB (higher than some competitors); no explicit service or connection limits published.
