At the time I used Paperspace shadow was in some kind of limbo, not accepting new customers-- I'm not sure if pre-existing ones were still able to use the service.

Also Paperspace would let you choose how much GPU you needed, which seemed like a nice way to conserve costs if you were playing low-overhead games, some indies or older games, though I never used it as such.

Does anyone know of a service like this that only charges based on storage + how much you use it? I would like to use something like this to run some windows software so I don't need a local VM or dual booting but paying monthly for something I would only use a few hours a month would not work for me.

I feel like shadow always had way more latency, and paper space was much more consistent
