> it doesn't preclude others following your advice being bitten. Just Google which ones are actually always free. Didn't have any problems personally.

  At least in my case I was not presented an obviously free option and the shapes given matched the always free tier, despite not being included in it. I'm a reasonably smart individual, I did not click through blindly and made a concerted effort to discover the free option and was taken aback by the fact that I couldn't find an option that was branded as being free and was assured by a friend (working for Apiary in Oracle) that it was fine to pick the shape I picked. Look, Regardless of how it came to pass: I should have been permitted to cancel. I continually paid what I considered to be the final bill (3 times in fact) until ultimately I was charged for an amount that it was not possible for me to actually pay (imagine trying to pay 0.1 US Cents or $0.001). I know we like to think that we're smarter than other posters and that "maybe they were holding it wrong", but I can't put into words how sincerely you'd be mistaken in thinking that in this case. You are very likely thinking while reading this: "Yeah, but that wouldn't happen to me, it hasn't happened, I feel safe enough in my decisions I could get out of it" -- you'd be wrong.
