Sometimes I have hobby projects that need more than the free tier of Heroku. I get a lot more bang for buck somewhere like Vultr or Digital Ocean compared to Heroku. The standard tier at Heroku is 512MB RAM for $25. Over at Vultr, I can get 2GB RAM for $20. I also get 45GB of SSD, so I don't have to pay for something like Amazon S3 to store uploaded files. If you're building an actual product, I agree with you, pay Heroku and focus on building your product. However, there's a lot of people looking to host smaller projects that wouldn't break even financially if they used Heroku.
