A pricing change was long overdue. AWS (which Heroku relies on to host everything) has been getting a lot cheaper in the last few years, but Heroku never changed its pricing and pocketed the difference.
- danneu 11y agoUnfortunately it's strictly a price increase for everyone who bought a second dyno to get out of the freeloader tier. $35/mo (one free + one standard dyno @ $35/ea) to $50/mo (two standard dynos @ $25/ea). It's only a price decrease for people with 4+ dynos.
- adamesque 11y agoNot really — if you were paying $35/month JUST to have always-on dynos, you should be able to downgrade to the $7/month hobby tier. If you really needed that 2nd dyno for performance reasons, then yeah, it's a price hike.
- rapcal 11y agoFor production apps, 2 dynos is the least you need not only because of sleep, but also because of redundancy. So there's no way of downgrading to the Hobby tier for lots of us. For 2 dynos the price increase is 44,9%!
