NAT Gateways · $21.9/mo
Vultr's NAT Gateway at $21.90/mo is significantly more expensive than comparable networking solutions from other providers. OVHcloud, Hetzner, and others offer load balancers and gateways at 1/3 to 1/10 the price, though you should verify whether they match your specific NAT Gateway use case (outbound IP masquerading, connection tracking, etc.).
Dedicated gateway appliance with 200GB transfer and 200 Mbps for under $2.50/mo, roughly 9x cheaper than Vultr.
Caveat: Verify that Gateway S provides NAT functionality and outbound IP masquerading; OVHcloud's APAC regions lose free egress after mid-2026.
Load balancer with TLS termination and 10,000 connections for $7.49/mo; if you need NAT-like traffic steering, this is 3x cheaper.
Caveat: Load balancers and NAT gateways serve different purposes; confirm Hetzner's product matches your outbound NAT requirements. Prices rose 36-39% in April 2026.
Flat-rate load balancer at $10/mo with outbound transfer billed separately; still less than half Vultr's NAT Gateway price.
Caveat: Outbound bandwidth charged at $0.015/GB beyond pooled allowance; confirm NodeBalancer provides NAT or if you need a dedicated NAT appliance instead.
Load balancer with 200GB transfer, 200 Mbps, and 10,000 req/s for $6.94/mo; 3x cheaper than Vultr if load balancing meets your needs.
Caveat: Designed for inbound traffic distribution, not outbound NAT; IPv4 addresses billed separately.
Regional load balancer with 10,000 req/s and 10,000 connections for $12/mo; 45% cheaper than Vultr.
Caveat: Load balancer, not a NAT gateway; bandwidth overages at $0.01/GB; confirm this solves your use case.
