AWS (free plan $0, up to $200 in credits for 6 months) is the broadest enterprise cloud with pay-as-you-go pricing. Render (Hobby tier $0/month plus compute, Pro $25/month plus compute) focuses on managed app hosting with auto-deploys from Git and free web services that sleep when idle. AWS for full cloud control; Render for simple app deployment without infrastructure management.
