The only thing I don't like is their usage-based pricing. On Heroku I could pay $7 a month and know I'd never be charged more than that. I'm sure when you're scaling a service it's fine - maybe even better - to do it on a sliding scale. But for a fire-and-forget blog site, I don't want to have to worry about stuff like that.

Just use a static hoster for a blog site (like netlify or even github pages).

Most of static site hosts nowadays provide (serverless) functions for you to do something on server side.
