For what I'm using digitalocean for, it is only $5ish dollars a month more than heroku but infinitely easier to use as it's an actual linux box I have free reign over. I understand I'm not going to make either of them a lot of money but I can't imagine wanting to save money and deal with heroku when a VPS is so cheap now a days.
