Doesn't AWS charge $0.01 intra region and $0.02 between regions, even without setting up private links? Can't you pass part of those savings (compared to the $0.05-$0.09 of egress) on? Or is it too difficult to detect if the remote IP qualifies?

(Founder) Unfortunately, if you access over a public IP, it is internet egress. Even if the client is in the same AWS cloud region. PrivateLink is the only option.

Peering is an option as well but it's a whole different ballgame of complexities to set up vs. private link
