What's the AWS equivalent to their biggest instance?
Was going to try their Free account, until I signed up and the discovered the big black "Free" had a tiny light grey "+ Machine Utilization Charges" beneath it. Everything is "Free + Charges".
My ideal scenario is something like this that's $20/month for unlimited usage, with the caveat that you have to have the server in your own house with your own internet, but the service is that it provisions your machine and proxies it for fast speeds everywhere.
Not a heavy user, but I've been using Paperspace a few times for gaming. They make it really easy. They have a "template" you spawn a new instance from, or use a blank windows install. Their template is handy since it has Steam and Parsec already installed. What they seem to be doing here is saying you don't need Parsec and can just use their browser implementation instead. Sounds great!
Is gaming well supported with controllers working over the air?
Super Meat Boy is about as twitchy as I get, and the latency for that is fine (at least in the SF bay area).
Obviously, the GPU can do more than that, but I haven’t tried pushing in that direction.
> For hourly plans you are charged a flat rate(depending on machine type) per month to cover storage and access. Additionally, you are charged an hourly rate when the machine is running. Monthly plans are offered at a flat rate for unlimited access.
Then the pricing page doesn't list the flat rate, when looking at hourly pricing - but does show an hourly price for monthly billing? Possibly monthly/(30 * 24)?
Ed: looks like hourly for monthly plan is calculated as monthly/(365÷12×24)
This looks like a consumer targeted product. If so, they should use a "per month" pricing instead of the per hour pricing which only caters to nerds who will go through the trouble to calculate. I hope it's actually an affordable option overall compared to any other options out there.
Gaming is a also a use case, but gamers that run heavy games tend to be nerds anyway.
Per month pricing would make it very hard to price competitively for users who work 6+ hours a day vs. users who need to work with CAD files a couple of times per month.
I don't know what kind of every-day consumers need to to run heavy CAD software.

I don't understand your problem, the Paperspace account is free. You have to pay for the machine you use.
"How does pricing work? For hourly plans you are charged a flat rate(depending on machine type) per month to cover storage and access. Am I charged when my machine is off? For hourly plans, if your machine is powered off, you will only be billed for your storage." Are those charges listed anywhere? They don't seem to be on the Workstream pricing page.
Here's a link to the storage pricing. There are links on that page to pricing details for just about any scenario. https://support.paperspace.com/hc/en-us/articles/36000380433... The lowest level is 50GB for $5 per month
Is there something like this that's self-hosted?
