Is Heroku's Premium-2 the best deal?

Before you switch

• Verify Render's current bandwidth overage rate ($0.15/GB is best-available but not confirmed on live docs) and storage overage costs ($0.30/GB for Postgres) before committing.
• Confirm Render Redis Starter connection limit and whether it matches your 200-connection requirement.
• Test Render's second-level billing model to ensure partial-month charges for scale-to-zero scenarios fit your cost model.
• Heroku Premium-2 includes 200 max connections; verify Render's limit and whether connection pooling is required.
• Heroku's hidden tier-up penalties (row/connection limits forcing upgrades) are less transparent than Render's per-GB overages; model your growth scenario on both platforms.
