I've been using nitrous.io for a month or so. It looks like this is the same thing, except without the browser-based text editor, which I kinda like since I haven't gotten really used to working in any of the terminal text editors yet. It's not clear if they support real ssh access or sftp either.

I'm not sure how nitrous is expensive. I can't find any ways to give them money right now at all, or even any proposed future pricing. I have a few quibbles with their system, like the way their servers seem to shut down if not used for a couple of days, the ssh sessions disconnect semi-randomly, and no root access to install things that aren't already there, but cost doesn't seem to be an issue.

Yes we support SSH and SCP. Yes we also have browser based editor. Just need to go to the main site. We also give root etc. As long as your using the VM it will not shut off - however it will shutdown 15 mins after you logout.
I think you're looking for this: https://www.nitrous.io/pricing
