      Parsec vs Shadow
      pros, cons and recent comments
       all • positive • negative      relevance • date
      Parsec started out as a VPN gaming service for peer-to-peer game sharing, but they now have a cloud gaming marketplace that partners with Paperspace and Amazon platforms to use their computers via the Parsec software.

      Parsec is more screen sharing than anything else, while shadow is more like having your own VM in the cloud

      This is a service to play LAN games online with friends. Not to stream an entire game.

      GeForce NOW vs Shadow
      pros, cons and recent comments
      Although both services allow for cloud gaming, Geforce Now is not a complete alternative because it only has a selection of games, whereas Shadow lets you install any PC game. Shadow gives you an entire PC.
