Load Balancer · $46.21/mo (2000 GB transfer)
OVHcloud's Load Balancer L is reasonably priced for its capacity (2 Gbps, 40k req/s), but several competitors offer lower entry costs or better value depending on your actual traffic patterns. However, most alternatives have steeper hidden costs or lower performance ceilings, making direct comparison difficult.
Entry-level load balancer at 1/6 the price with TLS termination included; suitable if you need fewer than 10k connections and 25 services.
Caveat: Much lower capacity ceiling (10k connections vs 1M); traffic overage rates vary by region and can be steep outside EU; recent 36-39% price increase in April 2026.
| 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 78% discount; 100% network uptime SLA is stronger than OVHcloud's implied availability.
Caveat: Specs do not list connection or request-per-second limits; bandwidth overage rates vary by location and are not transparent upfront.
Flat-rate load balancer with 99.99% SLA; outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB overage, which is predictable for budgeting.
Caveat: No published connection or request-per-second limits; higher overage rate ($0.015/GB) than OVHcloud's included 2TB tier if you exceed it.
Scales per node with 10k req/s and 10k connections per node; 99.99% SLA and transparent $0.01/GB overage rate.
Caveat: Multi-node setups quickly exceed OVHcloud's price; base specs are lower than OVHcloud's single tier.
