1) normal pharo cloud 2) ephemeric
The cloud offer with the price you cited is similar to running pharo on you own virtual linux machine. The ephemeric cloud is different: it uses pharo images themselves as containers and provides a simple Rest API to start them up.
Cost is $10 for up to 20 running images, the free account gives you already one to play.
The difference is that the ephemeric image is never saved, gets automatically killed after 30 minutes (and restarted when needed).
But it is more an IDE, not a general UI for work like Emacs. (But it could for sure be turned into one)
I gave an overview/intro talk recently about Pharo, it's online here: http://www.slideshare.net/MarcusDenker/pharo-objects-at-your...
