Gateway · $9.27/mo (500 GB transfer)
OVHcloud Gateway M is reasonably priced for a basic gateway tier, but it faces significant hidden-cost headwinds: IPv4 surcharges, Windows license fees, and APAC egress losing free status after mid-2026. No single alternative decisively undercuts it across all dimensions, but several offer better transparency or lower total-cost-of-ownership depending on your workload.
Dramatically cheaper entry point for private cross-region networking with free within-region transfer; ideal if you don't need public egress or can stay within one region.
Caveat: Cross-region egress is metered at $0.01/GB and scales sharply for Africa/India; no published platform SLA; machine pricing varies by region beyond Amsterdam baseline.
| 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 |
Includes 10TB free egress allowance before overage kicks in, plus published 99.95% SLA; better for high-volume outbound scenarios.
Caveat: Legacy pricing ends in 2026 when free-egress policy changes; block storage and database tiers add separate charges; early-exit penalties on archive storage.
Comparable gateway/load-balancer functionality at $7.49/mo with 99.9% SLA; includes TLS termination and up to 25 services in one tier.
Caveat: Prices rose 36-39% in April 2026; VAT excluded from listed price; traffic overage rates vary sharply by region (as low as 0.5-1 TB in USA/Singapore).
Flat-rate regional load balancer with 100% network uptime SLA; straightforward pricing without per-rule add-ons.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included; no published egress allowance.
99.99% SLA with transparent $0.01/GB overage billing; per-node scaling allows right-sizing for smaller workloads.
Caveat: Priced per node; base tier may be overkill for simple gateway use; bandwidth overages apply after pooled allowance.
