| Free tier | Incoming traffic Included. Outgoing traffic Included. unit unlimited; metered on downloaded-bytes |
|---|---|
| Price | paid; traffic included |
| Limits |
|
| Binding | none no byte meter is published: outbound is included in the hourly instance price, so what a reader pays is the instance and not a quota |
| Identity | card an account with a payment method; every Start link on the price page carries a FREETRIAL voucher parameter whose value is not stated on the page |
| Egress | incoming and outgoing traffic are both listed as Included, with no byte figure and no overage line on the price page; ingress: udp free allowance: none published |
| Interface | cli, rest the OpenStack CLI and the OVHcloud API |
| Tooling | wg-quick on the instance; the OpenStack CLI or the OVH API |
| Composes with | a paid instance whose egress line is Included removes the credit question entirely; pair it with the FREETRIAL voucher to start at no cost |
| Notes | The strongest non-credit finding and the one that changes what the question is: if outgoing traffic is Included on a paid instance, then no credit arithmetic is needed at 1 TiB a month, and the cheapest OVH instance is the answer rather than any trial. Arithmetic is not applicable: with no per-GB rate there is nothing to divide. Left unstated because the page does not give it. Worth a paid-lane read of the fair-use clause, since Included on a 100 Mbit unmetered port and Included on a 2 Gbit port are different offers. |
| Evidence note | documented the Included line is first-party and unambiguous; the FREETRIAL voucher amount was not readable, and the fair-use terms behind Included were not read. Those two reads would settle whether the trial is a credit and whether Included has a ceiling |
Evidence 2
| date | source | what it proved |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-23 | us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/prices/ | the Private Network table reads '| Incoming traffic | Included |' and '| Outgoing traffic | Included |' |
| 2026-10-23 | us.ovhcloud.com/public-cloud/prices/ | every Start link carries 'voucher%3DFREETRIAL', so a trial voucher exists even though its value is not on the page |
