OVHcloud Pricing — OVHcloud Public Cloud Instances, OVHcloud Object Storage, OVHcloud Public Cloud Databases & Egress Costs (2026)
OVHcloud is the only EU-headquartered provider in this comparison, and the only one whose Public Cloud plans include unlimited outbound bandwidth as standard rather than as an add-on. Rates are published in EUR and converted to USD at the ECB reference rate recorded at sync time, which is why this provider is labelled FX-converted rather than plain live. Every figure below is computed by the same engine as the live estimator.
- Unlimited free egress on every plan — the biggest single savings lever for data-heavy or CDN-style workloads.
- EU-sovereign infrastructure with no hidden data-transfer fees.

Lowering a OVHcloud bill
OVHcloud Unlimited Egress
Every OVHcloud Public Cloud plan ships with fair-use unlimited outbound bandwidth — for data-heavy or CDN-style workloads this alone can be the deciding factor.
EU-sovereign data residency with no hidden cross-region transfer fees.
- Managed Kubernetes control planes are free on every OVHcloud plan.
- Egress is unlimited and free (fair use) — there is no CDN offload to optimize here.

OVHcloud pricing — frequently asked questions
Is OVHcloud cheaper than the hyperscalers?
On compute it prices at the developer-cloud end rather than the hyperscaler end, and on egress the comparison stops being close: outbound bandwidth is unlimited and free on every Public Cloud plan, where AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud meter from the first gigabyte. For data-heavy workloads that single policy difference usually outweighs everything else on the bill — the workload totals below let you check that against your own architecture.
What is the cheapest way to run a workload on OVHcloud?
Stop optimizing egress: with unlimited free outbound transfer there is no CDN offload to justify and no transfer line item to design around, which removes work as well as cost. Then treat the compute choices conventionally — pick the shape that matches the workload, and note that OVHcloud sells no spot or preemptible tier, so interrupted batch work has no discount path here.
Who is OVHcloud the right choice for?
European organizations with data-residency or sovereignty requirements, since OVHcloud is EU-headquartered rather than a US provider with EU regions, and teams whose workload ships a lot of data outward. The honest caveats: list prices are EUR-denominated and FX-converted here, several managed services are not synced live, and the instance and service catalog is narrower than a hyperscaler’s.
What does the cheapest comparable instance cost on OVHcloud?
For a 4 vCPU / 16 GB Linux instance at 730 hours a month on demand, the engine matches OVHcloud Public Cloud Instances to b3-32 at $166.22/month. Instance shapes differ between providers, so the matched shape matters as much as the price — the compute table below lists every published shape with its reserved and spot rates.
How does OVHcloud charge for data transfer?
Outbound internet transfer is unlimited and free on every OVHcloud plan (fair use), so there is no egress line item to manage. Load balancers bill at $12.34/month and static IPv4 addresses at $1.97/month in this catalog, both metered hourly.
What storage tiers and managed database engines does OVHcloud offer?
Object storage is available in 2 tiers (hot, archive) — see the storage table for per-GB rates. Managed databases cover POSTGRES, MYSQL (SQL Server is not offered as a managed service). The managed Kubernetes control plane is free on the first cluster.
