Well, it’s cheap until a badly behaved script starts sending lots of data and Amazon charges your card a huge bill (unless they’ve finally got around to hard price caps?)
None of these 4 providers do hard caps. If a lack of hard caps is your complaint, file it against all of them.
Lightsail instances each include at least 1TB of transfer each month, which is the same as DigitalOcean. Vultr and Linode also charge network overage fees on a per gigabyte basis if you transfer too much. Absolutely, everyone should set up billing alerts on any of these services.
I'm not here to say Lightsail is the absolute best option, just an option.
