0 means no outbound overage estimate, not unlimited traffic.

Full-month estimate, assuming zero inbound traffic and no other instances in the account. Lightsail inbound traffic also consumes its quota. Tax, setup, model APIs and extras are separate. Backup products differ; read each plan’s terms.

Prorated by active hours, pooled with eligible account services; only pool overage billed. Free intra-region paths include IPv6/private IPv4/VLAN and VPC; public IPv4 intra-region traffic is metered. Billing docs state compute network transfer uses base-2: vendor GB = 2^30 bytes and TB = 2^40 bytes.

METHOD & LIMITS

How to read this comparison

Verify current checkout terms before paying.

  1. 01

    This is a dated review of official documentation, not a hands-on speed or reliability test. Availability and prices can change before checkout.

  2. 02

    Prices apply to the example region shown. Transfer allowances, IPv4 and taxes may differ in other locations. Shared vCPUs are not interchangeable performance units.

  3. 03

    Unknown costs stay unknown. A “known portion” is not a complete quote. The subtotal covers only the listed configuration; setup, tax, model APIs and extras must be checked separately.

  4. 04

    Providers are alphabetical by default. Vultr is the only affiliate destination; it does not affect ordering. Other provider links are non-affiliate.
