To me, it's not whether they're providing $7 a month in value, it's whether running a dozen dynos at $7 is worth more than than running a single $10 VPS on DigitalOcean. For me, they do not provide enough value. My apps run drastically faster on a VPS than they did on Heroku, and I save a lot of money. Consequentially, my sites that need more resources than my incubator VPS can provide no longer consider Heroku a viable upgrade path
