Gateway · $134.54/mo (4000 GB transfer)
OVHcloud Gateway XL is reasonably priced for its 4 Gbps throughput and 4TB transfer allowance, but the hidden costs—IPv4 surcharges, Windows license fees, and upcoming APAC egress billing changes—add friction. No single alternative undercuts it decisively on equivalent specs, but several offer better transparency or lower total-cost-of-ownership for specific workloads.
Entry-level load balancer at 94% lower sticker price; includes TLS termination and covers up to 25 services, making it a strong fit if you need basic gateway/LB functionality rather than raw throughput.
Caveat: Designed for load balancing, not raw gateway capacity; 20TB traffic pool is EU-only (USA/Singapore regions get 0.5-1TB), and prices rose sharply in June 2026; VAT not included.
| 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 |
Flat-rate regional load balancer at 93% lower cost; 100% network uptime SLA and no per-GB overage charges within region, offering predictable billing.
Caveat: Bandwidth overage rates vary by data center; Windows licensing not included; does not match OVHcloud's 4 Gbps public network throughput specification.
Flat-rate load balancer with 99.99% SLA; outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB only after pooled allowance, providing clearer cost visibility than OVHcloud's region-dependent egress model.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth at $0.015/GB overage is higher than some competitors; does not offer 4 Gbps throughput; pooled allowance size not specified in listing.
Regional load balancer with 99.99% SLA and transparent $0.01/GB overage billing; scales per node (10k req/s per node) and avoids region-specific egress surprises.
Caveat: Per-node pricing means multi-node setups cost more; does not provide 4 Gbps gateway throughput; bandwidth overages still apply.
