Load Balancers · $51/mo
Hetzner's LB31 at $51/mo is moderately priced but carries significant hidden costs and a recent 39% hourly rate hike. OVHcloud's Load Balancer S ($6.94/mo) and Vultr's Regional LB ($10/mo) offer much lower entry points with clearer pricing, though Hetzner may still win on performance/capacity if you need the larger tier's throughput.
Dramatically cheaper at $6.94/mo with 200GB transfer and 200 Mbps; includes 99.99% SLA and transparent per-instance IPv4 billing.
Caveat: Lower throughput (250 conn/s, 10k req/s) may not suit very high-traffic workloads; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
Flat $10/mo regional load balancer with 100% network uptime SLA and no per-rule surcharges.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows license costs extra; less detail on throughput specs.
Flat $10/mo with 99.99% SLA; outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB only after pooled allowance is exceeded.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage is pricier than some competitors; no detail on connection/request limits.
Per-rule pricing ($8.64 for additional rules beyond first 5) allows you to scale cost with actual rules needed; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Base Application LB price not listed here; renewal pricing can be 2-6x higher after promo period; building-block pricing model requires calculator.
