To a first approximation everything in this space has dynamic pricing. If it's not priced dynamically, you're presumably paying a premium either on a commit or in gym pricing.

I don't know what the right term is, but maybe "deterministic" pricing (this is not the right term, but maybe closer). That is, I'm not going to know how much a sprite cost until I see the bill (or look up the live usage report), whereas if I spin up a Fly Machine, I know exactly how much I'm going to pay per unit of time.

(Both make sense for their respective use cases.)
