Load Balancers · $10/mo
Vultr's $10/mo Regional Load Balancer is competitively priced but not the cheapest option. OVHcloud's Load Balancer S at $6.94/mo and Hetzner's LB11 at $7.49/mo both undercut Vultr significantly with comparable or better throughput specs. However, Vultr's hidden costs (bandwidth overage rates vary by location) are less severe than some competitors, and you should verify regional pricing and SLA requirements before switching.
Delivers 200 Mbps, 250 conn/s, and 10,000 req/s with 200GB transfer included, undercutting Vultr by 31% and backed by 99.99% SLA.
Caveat: IPv4 addresses billed separately; APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026; Windows license surcharge applies if needed.
| 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 |

Entry-level load balancer with TLS termination, up to 25 services, and 10,000 connections for 25% less than Vultr; includes 20TB traffic pool in EU.
Caveat: Price increased 36-39% in April 2026; VAT excluded from listed price; USA/Singapore regions have much smaller traffic pools (0.5-1TB); 99.9% SLA is lower than Vultr's implied tier.
Matches Vultr's $10/mo price point with flat-rate pricing and 99.99% SLA; outbound transfer billed at $0.015/GB after pooled allowance.
Caveat: No specs on throughput or connection limits provided; bandwidth overage rate ($0.015/GB) is higher than some competitors; requires verification of feature parity.
Offers 10,000 req/s and 10,000 connections per node with 99.99% SLA; scales horizontally by adding nodes at $12/mo each.
Caveat: Priced per node, so multi-node setups exceed Vultr quickly; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB; base tier may be undersized for high-traffic workloads.
