My m1.small instance on AWS costs me $75-$80/month. Rackspace does offer smaller configurations than AWS. When you compare similar configurations, e.g., 1.5GB - 2.0GB memory, costs are similar.
When I was comparing the two, Rackspace was having a lot of downtime, 3-5/day, and Amazon wasn't, 3-7/week. I am seeing connectivity problems with my app on AWS that don't show in the Amazon status blogs. Not sure whether that is my bug or theirs.
