Depends on your workload - it’s about $3.50 per month for the smallest T series VM on the SPOT market in the cheap regions (us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-2), that is your next step up from lambda for minimal workloads. You can run a whole lot (many many millions) of lambda invocations before your bill gets anywhere close to 3.50. But after you exceed that point a dedicated instance running your workload full time starts to look nice. You could also run a Digital Ocean droplet for less which might make sense if your on tinkerer budget and don’t need IAM access control or VPC access.
