Looked into it a few seconds more and realized they've got a new "mini" plan, which is basically a free Dev plan, but costing 1 cent a month. I suppose this is a deliberate attempt to kill all the non-maintained projects, rather than a way to make money.

I’d say to kill more abuse rather than non-maintained projects https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/massive-cryptomining-campaign-abuses-free-tier-cloud-dev-resources/amp/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/massive-crypt...

Where are you reading 1 cent/month? The cheapest way I can see to run a small app+db project on Heroku now is to use an Eco dyno at $5/month with a Mini Postgres instance at $5/month, for a total of $10/month. If you don't want your project to sleep, you probably want a Basic dyno ($7/month) instead of an Eco dyno. Am I missing something? Edit: I meant to add a link to the pricing page. https://www.heroku.com/pricing https://www.heroku.com/pricing

  Just found this too. The brand-new Eco plan costs $5/mo, shared over all projects up to 1000 dyno hours, and then it seems each database on the Micro plan is $0.01 per month. That comes out to $5.05 per month for me I believe for my 5 portfolio projects? Maybe there's hope for Heroku yet.

    I can't find anything about the Micro plan. Is this documented anywhere?

  As of now, https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql says $0.01/month and their CLI as of Wednesday also said that. Of course, this feels like a weird workaround until December 1 since they also say that's when they're going to saying charging for it.
