Load Balancers · $10/mo
Vultr's $10/mo Global Load Balancer is fairly priced but faces direct competition from Hetzner and OVHcloud at lower entry points, plus Linode at parity. Hetzner's LB11 at $7.49/mo offers better value for basic load balancing, though Vultr may have advantages in specific regions or feature depth not captured here.
Entry load balancer with TLS termination, 25 services, and 10k connections at 25% less cost than Vultr.
Caveat: Price increased 36-39% in April 2026; traffic overage rates vary sharply by region (as low as 0.5-1 TB in USA/Singapore); VAT excluded from listed price.
Includes 200GB transfer, 200 Mbps, 250 conn/s, and 10k req/s at 31% discount versus Vultr.
Caveat: APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; IPv4 addresses billed separately; SLA is region-dependent.
Flat-rate load balancer at price parity with Vultr, backed by 99.99% SLA and Akamai infrastructure.
Caveat: Outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB beyond pooled allowance; backups and HA control plane are separate paid add-ons.
