Cheaper private outbound data transfer

Fresh Produce

For organizations created after July 18 2024, private network data transfer will be billed separately from data bound for the public internet.

What’s changing?

  • Cross-region private network transfer will be billed using new, cheaper rates.

  • Private network transfer within the same region is now free.

  • We will charge the new private network transfer price for apps without IP addresses. These kind of private apps used to be ignored by billing.

See our updated outbound data transfer pricing here.

Who can benefit from cheaper private data transfer?

With the old pricing, the rates for private data transfer were same as the rates for transfer to the public internet. The new pricing model reduces the cost for private data transfer significantly, and makes them free for transfer within the same region. You will benefit from this if you application is heavy on private networking.

When can I get cheaper prices for my existing org?

If you created your org before July 18 2024, you will continue to be billed at the “Egress to public internet” rate for all data transfer.

We’re going to let you opt in to new pricing just as soon as we possibly can. It should save most people a little money, but there are some cases where the more complete bandwidth accounting might increase prices. So we’re going to start with a manual opt-in. Keep an eye for a fresh produce post.

What does this mean for external Wireguard clients that are connected to the Fly Private Network? Are they internet-facing or covered under the private network charges?

For example, communication with a database hosted in another cloud provider but connected to the Fly Private Network via Wireguard? This feels like internet-facing, even if it’s private network, but none of the pricing documentation seems to cover this specific case.

Yes good catch. External data out over wireguard peers is the same as public data out. We will clarify that in docs.
