Is Heroku free or just cheap?

• derefr 17y ago
  It's free given the base configuration: http://heroku.com/pricing#blossom-1-0 http://heroku.com/pricing#blossom-1-0 That config is basically only for development/prototypes, though (it has a 5MB database cap); their default tiny-ish plan is $15/month, which is quite decent for anything that runs Ruby, let alone on a grid. Turning on all the knobs and levers on that page gave me "$5089/month", which is a slight bit terrorizing—but I can't imagine the kind of business that would grow to need that scale without becoming a multinational with its own IT.
