# Application Load Balancer costs

> Compare Application Load Balancer backend choices using explicit service-adapter planning assumptions.

Tensor9 BYOC planning comparisons for `aws::1.0.0::lb`, with backend choices shown together. Read [how Tensor9 estimates service-adapter costs](/byoc/costs/overview.md) for price scope and capacity qualification, or return to [additional services](/byoc/costs/additional-services.md).

Origin API: `aws::1.0.0::lb`. Target backend: `scaleway::1.0.0::lb`.

**Native or deployment mapping.** This mapping configures native networking. Application packets pass through the target network or load balancer, not the adapter fabric, and this directed mapping does not expose an origin-cloud network-management endpoint. The target provider's networking terms apply. Cost estimates describe the selected service resources; operation coverage remains separate.

* Only this native meter varies; all other source usage and translation assumptions retain the displayed defaults. Editable authored planning guesses, not verified provider tariffs, benchmark measurements or a commercial quote. Other native meters retain their explicitly displayed default quantities.
* Planning estimate · editable authored rates and sizing assumptions dated 2026-10-22; not verified provider prices. us-east-1 → fr-par, USD/month.
* Source prices are reference charges, not an invoice. Target lines cover selected service usage/configuration only; adapter hosting and Tensor9 fees are excluded.
* Explicit tariff samples are not performance measurements or capacity qualification. No interpolation or break-even guarantee is implied.
* Variant assumptions show the first axis sample; any axis-dependent configuration is described by this curve's workload note.
* Rates are cited provider list prices, editable for discounts, commitments or another region. Workload translation and capacity coefficients remain editable planning assumptions, not benchmark measurements or a commercial quote.
* Default-zero rates are explicit assumptions, not evidence that the deployed service or resource is free.
* Provisioned-unit minimums use an editable approximate allocation floor. Modeled target service cost is max(usage/allocation, minimum), with billable network, durable staging and dependent sinks added separately; actual RU/TU sizing, scaling increments and throughput remain unqualified.
* Durable staging is priced once: provisioned targets include adapter state in their selected allocation; native targets add a separate staging allocation when required. Adapter hosting is a separate allocation and must exclude resources already priced as staging, workers or target capacity.
* A declared adapter mapping and cost model do not establish implementation availability or service equivalence.
* This is a declared directed mapping; a planning estimate does not establish deployment or request-serving support.
* Native/deployment comparison scope: This mapping configures native networking. Application packets pass through the target network or load balancer, not the adapter fabric, and this directed mapping does not expose an origin-cloud network-management endpoint. The target provider's networking terms apply.
* Origin unit prices are cited provider list prices; capacity coefficients and translation assumptions are editable authored planning guesses, not measured capacity or a provider quote.
* This is an explicit data-plane workload comparison; the ELB management adapter alone cannot measure traffic.
* The selected per-GiB rate is a traffic-dominated ALB/NLB capacity assumption and does not reproduce multi-dimensional AWS LCU/NLCU billing.
* Load-balancer hours and processed GiB are billed as listed; connection, rule and capacity-unit dimensions beyond the base allocation need separate qualification. LB-S (200 Mbps) traffic is unlimited with no per-GB charge.

Cost scope: Modeled target native service and explicitly modeled state allocation; hosting and Tensor9 fees only when supplied.

Excluded costs and workload features:

* Connection/rule-driven capacity premiums, certificates, DNS, WAF, backend compute and separate internet egress.
* Taxes, discounts, credits and free-tier allowances unless explicitly reflected in edited rates.
* Unmodeled dependent services, task execution and operations outside the selected workload family.
