If you're building a business, the Free tier should be a starting point, not a forever solution. Either the business dies, or it grows and you'll graduate to a paid option very quickly.

Newsrooms don't have a budget for maintaining interactive apps they built for a story that ran ten years ago, so they often made the sensible (at the time) decision to deploy them as a free, scale-to-zero Heroku instance. Those apps are all gone now, thanks to Heroku bait-and-switching. Many of those same newsrooms were paying customers of Heroku for other purposes!
