In their own words
CloudMoon
CloudMoon is a cloud gaming service for playing mobile games online without downloading them. It offers over 300 games and apps, rendering graphics on global GPU servers and streaming them to users. Listed devices include web, Android, iOS, tablets, Chromebooks, and low-spec laptops. CloudMoon says devices with 3–4 GB of RAM can stream at up to 60 fps, and that its 15 MB app can run 200+ games. It also says edge servers in 22 locations cut latency below 55 ms, while noting that network speed and server policies can still cause latency. The service offers free cloud gaming for casual users and a Standard Plan at $4.99 a month. One-time options listed at 4.99 USD include seven days of Premium and 20 hours of gaming. Support and payment help are directed to Discord, and users can request games through Discord or Reddit. On Mac, the App Store listing requires macOS 12.0 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later.
PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming
PlayStation Plus Cloud Streaming lets eligible members stream select PS5 games instead of downloading them. Games are drawn from catalogs, digital libraries and select free-to-play titles; cloud saves are stored automatically, and Premium membership includes Game Trials. Streaming requires PlayStation Plus Premium, listed at $19.99 a month, with recurring billing until cancelled. A free-to-play title may be streamable, but the listed facts do not describe a free PlayStation Plus plan. Supported devices include PS5, PlayStation Portal, PS4 and Windows PC, though cloud streaming is identified as available on PS5 and Portal. Portal use requires owning a Portal Remote Player and is limited to select PS5 games, not PS4 or PS3. Listed resolutions range from 720p to 2160p; Premium supports up to 4K, HDR at 60Hz and PS5 audio outputs. Starting a session requires broadband with at least 5 Mbps upload and download. A PlayStation account is required, and child accounts are not eligible.
