Looks like they tried to match Amazon Workspaces prices. That doesn't mean it isn't expensive though.
I'd call them both niche products that I'd be more interested in developing on if it wasn't so expensive to do so (at 16 GB of RAM). I'm not entirely sure I can describe what the normal deployment scenario looks like (e.g. traveling salesman doesn't work because you'd need too high of internet quality on the road, developer doesn't work as RAM pricing, and in a lot of scenarios you need on-prem hardware to connect to it anyway).
- samspenc 5y agoI was going to say that if they priced it per minute or hour, like some other IaaS offerings, this would have been competitive. I can imagine a developer or occasional user using this for 1-5 hours a day, and then putting it to sleep... But nope, just checked, it's a flat rate per month, irrespective of use, so definitely looks cheaper to just buy a high-end machine and install Windows on it (or Mac + Parallels + Windows like others have noted.)
