Cloudy Pad vs TIM Cloud Gaming by AWG

Cloudy Pad lets users deploy a cloud gaming instance on their own server, machine, or cloud provider and play games from their own library. It can be self-deployed, including directly on a server via SSH, or used through Cloudy Pad App, a web platform for deploying a gaming instance. Listed launchers include Steam, Epic, GOG, Heroic, and Lutris; listed providers include AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Scaleway, and Paperspace. Cloudy Pad can deploy a Sunshine or Wolf streaming server for use with the Moonlight client, with streaming up to 1440p. Its documentation describes hourly billing without a subscription, automated cost alerts, and Spot instances that can be up to 90% cheaper. The self-deployment guide requires Docker, a Moonlight client, an NVIDIA GPU or supported cloud provider, and a stable internet connection with at least 20 Mbps download speed. Steam use requires Proton, and compatibility can be checked on ProtonDB. Cloudy Pad is free and open source, though cloud provider usage may incur charges. The maker describes the project as experimental and says breaking changes may occur.

TIM Cloud Gaming by AWG streams games from the cloud, so users can play without a gaming PC or console. TIM describes a catalog of more than 300 games that are ready without downloads or updates. Players can import licenses from libraries such as Steam and Epic and retain their game history; some games require a license, which can be imported or acquired within the service. Listed devices include PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, Android phones, tablets, Android TV and web browsers. A stable internet connection is required, and TIM recommends at least 20 Mbps over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or 5G. The promotion regulation says parental controls can manage children's access to games. TIM lists a Premium plan with unlimited use but no price stated, and a TIM Cloud Gaming by AWG plan at 3,990 BRL a month (billed R$39,90/mês). Customers on the TIM Black Família 240GB offer receive Premium at no additional cost. Subscribers are directed to register through the TIM Cloud Gaming website.
