You are not comparing like for like. An app-engine 'instance' is not just a generic VM instance.
Its 'managed' for you - you dont need to install a OS, manage patches etc. Even a backed has an effective load balancer in front of it, a firewall. Access to other 'free' services, memcache, task queues, etc. The classic IaaS vs. PaaS difference.
