Is Oracle Cloud Infrastructure's Outbound Data Transfer the best deal?

Always Free Tier · $0/mo (10000 GB transfer)

Best in class

Oracle's Always Free Tier for outbound data transfer is genuinely competitive at $0/mo with 10TB included monthly egress. No equivalent free-tier alternatives were found in the filtered results. However, be aware that other Oracle services (Block Volume VPU, Autonomous Database storage, OKE control planes, Archive Storage) carry separate hidden charges that can accumulate quickly.

Before you switch

Block Volume performance (VPU) is billed separately and charged per tier regardless of actual I/O usage - verify your workload's I/O profile before committing
Autonomous Database storage is metered independently from compute; confirm storage costs won't exceed your budget
OKE control-plane fees add $0.10/hour (up to $74.40/month) on top of worker node costs if you use Enhanced clusters
Archive Storage has a 90-day minimum retention penalty if you delete early - only use for truly long-term archives
Object Storage Infrequent Access tier charges per-GB retrieval fees and enforces minimum retention; calculate total cost-of-ownership including retrieval
Cross-check Oracle's 2026 free-egress policy changes to confirm whether this 10TB allowance will be superseded or modified
