I like the idea of rebuilding Heroku without the command line. It's not for me, but it's probably for somebody.

There's just too much of a premium for this over a standard DigitalOcean droplet though. At the low end you're paying double for the same resources, and at the high end you're paying 4x.

I deployed a toy Node.js app that was a bit too resource hungry for 1 virtual CPU. The cheapest plan with 2 virtual CPUs is $150 per month (vs. $15 for a droplet with 2 virtual CPUs).

Seems like there are some pricing issues to work out.

Hey futhey,

The team agreed that we had some gaps that needed to be filled, you will now see new plans:

Basic $40/month 4GB RAM & 2 Shared vCPUs

Pro $75/month 4GB RAM & 1 Dedicated vCPU

We've also increased the vCPU count on the Pro $50/month plan from 1 to 2 vCPUS so it's now:

Pro $50/month 4GB RAM & 2 Shared vCPUs
