Is OVHcloud's Gateway S the best deal?

Gateway · $2.34/mo (200 GB transfer)

Competitively priced

OVHcloud Gateway S is a low-cost entry point, but the real value depends heavily on your region and traffic patterns. APAC users face egress-fee cliffs after mid-2026, and Windows workloads incur per-vCore license surcharges. A few alternatives offer comparable or better value for specific use cases, though none dominate across all scenarios.

CDN Europe & North America

$0.01/mosave 99.6%

Matches OVHcloud's sticker price ($0.01/mo) with a published 99.9% SLA and no per-vCore license surcharges, making it ideal if you need CDN rather than raw gateway capacity.

Caveat: $1/month minimum charge applies even at zero usage, so actual floor is $1/mo; not a direct gateway replacement.

Private Networking / Egress North America / Europe

$0.01/mosave 99.6%

Offers free within-region private transfer and $0.01/mo cross-region private networking, avoiding OVHcloud's separate IPv4 and Windows license charges for private-only workloads.

Caveat: Cross-region egress to Africa/India reaches $0.12/GB; no published platform SLA; machine base pricing varies by region beyond Amsterdam reference rates.

Outbound Data Transfer Prior policy

$0.01/mosave 99.6%

Legacy per-GB overage pricing ($0.01/mo shown) with 10TB free allowance and a stated shift to free egress by 2026, potentially eliminating transfer costs entirely for moderate users.

Caveat: Pricing reflects pre-2026 policy; Block Volume performance and Autonomous Database storage are billed separately; 99.95% SLA is stronger but doesn't offset the complexity.

Before you switch

Verify your region: APAC users (India, Singapore, Australia) will lose free egress after mid-2026; budget for outbound traffic costs then.
If running Windows, factor in $0.039/vCore/hour surcharge on top of the base $2.34/mo gateway price.
Confirm whether you need public or private networking; Fly.io and similar providers may be cheaper if private cross-region transfer suffices.
Check OVHcloud's IPv4 billing model per instance/Local Zone to avoid surprise per-address charges.
Compare total cost of ownership including Object Storage retrieval fees and minimum retention penalties if using cold/archive tiers.
