NodeBalancers · $10/mo
Linode's NodeBalancer at $10/mo is competitively priced for a flat-rate load balancer, but several alternatives offer comparable or better value depending on your traffic patterns and region. OVHcloud's Load Balancer S ($6.94/mo) and Hetzner's LB11 ($7.49/mo) are cheaper entry points, though Linode's simpler pricing may be easier to predict at scale.
Includes 200GB transfer and 200 Mbps capacity for $3.06/mo less, with transparent 99.99% SLA and no per-GB overage surprises if you stay within the allowance.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; early-deletion penalties on archived storage.
| 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 |
Entry load balancer with TLS termination, 25 services, and 10,000 connections for $2.51/mo less; includes 20TB traffic pool in EU regions.
Caveat: Prices rose 36-39% in April 2026; traffic overage rates vary sharply by region (USA/Singapore as low as 0.5-1TB included); VAT not included in quoted price.
Matches Linode's price exactly with 100% network uptime SLA and no per-GB overage charges within included bandwidth.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location; Windows license costs extra; less transparent pricing than Linode on egress tiers.
Same $10/mo flat rate as Linode but adds CDN functionality; useful if you need both load balancing and content delivery.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by location; CDN may be overkill if you only need load balancing; pricing less granular than Linode.
