From where I stand as someone who isn't using Amazon figuring out what my costs will be is difficult, impossible and would require wasting money on various tests.

With something like digitalocean my costs are fixed. I might have misjudged how much I need but can scale up easily or down (with effort).

Will Amazon offer fixed pricing? Does Amazom offer fixed pricing?

Aws is definitely not for hobbyists, or small applications, its a replacement to a datacenter with a lot of variables, not a VM. Your better comparison would be DigitalOcean vs Lightsail (AWS). So yes.
