Load Balancer · $6.94/mo (200 GB transfer)
OVHcloud Load Balancer S is reasonably priced for entry-level load balancing, but several competitors offer comparable or better value depending on your traffic profile and region. Hetzner's LB11 is nearly identical in price with slightly lower throughput specs, while Vultr and Linode offer flat-rate alternatives without per-connection limits if you need predictable costs.
Nearly identical price ($7.49 vs $6.94) with TLS termination included and up to 25 services; no per-connection or per-request billing model simplifies cost predictability.
Caveat: Lower throughput (10k connections vs 250 conn/s; unclear if directly comparable), and recent 36-39% price increase in April 2026 signals potential future hikes; VAT excluded from listed price.
Flat $10/mo with no per-connection or per-request fees; 100% network uptime SLA is stronger than OVHcloud's implied availability.
Caveat: Higher base cost, and bandwidth overage rates vary by data center location; Windows licensing not included if needed.
Flat $10/mo NodeBalancer with 99.99% SLA; no per-connection or per-request metering avoids surprise overage charges.
Caveat: Outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB after pooled allowance, which can exceed OVHcloud's 200GB inclusion if you exceed that tier's limits.
