Load Balancer · $46.21/mo (2000 GB transfer)
OVHcloud's Load Balancer L is reasonably priced for its capacity tier, but several competitors offer lower entry costs for lighter workloads. However, direct feature parity is difficult: OVHcloud's 40k req/s and 1000 conn/s significantly outclass most cheaper alternatives, making true comparison challenging.
Entry-level load balancer at 84% lower cost with HTTP/HTTPS/TCP support and TLS termination included; suitable for smaller deployments.
Caveat: Supports only 10k connections and 25 services (vs OVH's 1000 conn/s and 40k req/s); April 2026 price raised 36-39%; VAT excluded from listed price.
Flat-rate regional load balancer at 78% lower cost with 100% network uptime SLA.
Caveat: Specs do not detail connection or request-per-second limits; bandwidth overage rates vary by location and are not specified.
Flat-rate load balancer at 78% lower cost with 99.99% SLA and outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB.
Caveat: Capacity limits not specified; outbound bandwidth overage is $0.015/GB (higher than OVH's included 2TB), which could add cost at scale.
Regional load balancer at 74% lower cost with 10k req/s and 10k connections per node; 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: Base tier supports only 10k req/s (vs OVH's 40k); additional nodes at $12/mo each; bandwidth overage at $0.01/GB.
Managed load balancer at 81% lower cost with 99.99% SLA; pricing is per additional rule beyond first 5.
Caveat: Specs do not detail capacity limits (connections/req/s); base tier cost not shown; IONOS renewal pricing can be 2-6x higher after promo period.
