Also many other services that are way cheaper are also charged per hour.
But you cannot suspend these vps so easily and fast. Shellbox.dev aims to be frictionless in that regard
I would use this with expensive GPU instances so I don't forget them running. Not so useful for cheap instances.

One difference other than price is that sprites doesn't seem to use ssh
Also, they cost less than a shellbox when unused (idle), and more when used.
Sprites pricing is based on usage, not reserved capacity, so depending on what you're doing I think it can actually be cheaper than Shellbox. You'll have to stay below 1GB of memory and have the CPU be mostly idle, which I'm not sure common workloads will.

Nope, unless they changed this recently. It's an ssh-like way to connect and get a console/terminal, but it's not ssh, and there is no transfer capability
How do you upload files to a sprite box then?
$36/mo for 2/4/50 VPS without public IP... Ok, I get the idea that the service is for non-regular use, but I think even $0.005 per hour ($3.6/mo) of suspended state is too expensive. The same config in Hetzner is just $4.09/mo for 24/7 working VPS with public IPv4 address
Hi, That is a good point actually. The suspended price has to be significantly lower than the alternative. I'll revise it. Still, there is the advantage of simplicity not having to deal with the web console etc. Some people may enjoy this

I was born in Argentina, so technically American, yes ;)
Weird fun fact (as an Argentinian who went to school in England for a few years): in English-speaking countries, America is not a continent in the same way as in Spanish. In English they have two continents: South America and North America. So the word "American" in English does not mean the same as "Americano" in Spanish. There's really no natural word in English to refer to someone from "El continente Americano", b…
It turns out that there are various models for the number of continents, and that is (phew) known in Spanish, too. See the Wikipedia page [1] (link to Spanish version) for instance. This is for European Spanish though, but I couldn't find a version of the page in es-AR.

You're definitely right about there not being a word for someone from that continent though.
