Gateway · $336.38/mo (8000 GB transfer)
OVHcloud Gateway 2XL is reasonably priced for its headline specs (8 Tbps transfer, 8 Gbps network), but the hidden costs—IPv4 surcharges, Windows license fees, and APAC egress losing free status after mid-2026—erode value. No single alternative undercuts it decisively on equivalent specs, but several offer better transparency or lower total-cost-of-ownership for specific workloads.
Offers 10 TB free egress before overage kicks in, with a published 2026 free-egress policy change that may eliminate overage charges entirely; 99.95% SLA is stronger than OVHcloud's implicit availability.
Caveat: Pricing is legacy/prior-policy; actual 2026 rates and scope are not yet finalized, and Block Volume/storage tiers add separate charges.
| 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 |
Transparent per-node load-balancing with no per-IPv4 surcharge; 99.99% SLA and straightforward bandwidth overage ($0.01/GB) with no region-based egress cliffs.
Caveat: This is a load-balancer product, not a gateway; you would need to combine it with compute instances, making direct cost comparison difficult.
Entry load balancer at a fraction of OVHcloud's price with TLS termination included; 20 TB EU traffic pool is generous for most workloads.
Caveat: April 2026 price increase of 36-39% already applied; USA/Singapore regions have much smaller traffic pools (0.5-1 TB); VAT not included.
Flat-rate regional load balancer with 100% network uptime SLA; simpler pricing model than OVHcloud with no region-based egress penalties.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included in base price.
