Another difference:  the free account @ PythonAnywhere lets my run my app
continuously:

http://thekirbster.pythonanywhere.com/

The Cloud9 version will stop after two hours for free accounts:

https://docs.c9.io/v1.0/docs/inactive-workspaces

But one can start it again e.g. for a class, by running it again.

Here's the source code for what's running @ Cloud9:

https://github.com/4dsolutions/Python5/blob/master/mfg.py

with this change to the final boot section:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(
        debug = True,
        host = os.getenv("IP"),
        port = int(os.getenv("PORT")))
