Managed Load Balancer · $17.28/mo
IONOS's $17.28/mo Application LB is moderately priced but lacks transparency on renewal costs and has limited rule capacity. Several competitors offer comparable or better load-balancing features at lower entry prices with clearer pricing structures, though you should verify feature parity (connection limits, request rates, SSL termination) against your specific workload.
Entry load balancer with up to 25 services, 10,000 connections, and built-in HTTP/HTTPS/TCP with TLS termination for less than half IONOS's price.
Caveat: Prices increased ~36-39% in April 2026; VAT excluded; traffic overage varies by region (20TB EU pool, much smaller in USA/Singapore).
| Provider | Plan | Price | Specs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fly.io | Private Networking / Egress · North America / Europe - private cross-region | $0.01/mo | WireGuard (6PN) private cross-region transfer, per GB, North America and Europe. Within-region private transfer is free. | Visit |
| Oracle Cloud Infrastructure | Outbound Data Transfer · Prior policy: overage to internet | $0.01/mo | Legacy per-GB overage rate beyond the 10TB free allowance, prior to the stated 2026 free-egress policy change | Visit |
| Fly.io |
Flat-rate load balancer with 99.99% SLA and transparent $0.015/GB overage billing beyond pooled allowance.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth charged at $0.015/GB once pooled transfer is exceeded; no itemized connection or request-rate limits published.
Regional load balancer at $10/mo with 100% network uptime SLA, matching Linode's price point.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location; feature limits (connections, request rates) not itemized.
Per-node regional load balancer with 10,000 req/s and 10,000 connections per node; 99.99% SLA and clear $0.01/GB overage billing.
Caveat: Priced per node; adding capacity requires purchasing additional nodes; bandwidth overages charged at $0.01/GB.
Dedicated load balancer with 200GB transfer, 250 connections/s, 10,000 req/s, and 99.99% SLA for $6.94/mo.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC outbound traffic loses free-egress status after mid-2026; early-deletion penalties on archived storage.
