Heroku

Products and pricing

Price history

We keep every price we've ever captured for Heroku, so you can see whether a plan's price is holding, creeping up, or recently dropped before you commit.

Hidden costs

• Eco dynos ($5/mo flat) are personal-account only and not available to Enterprise/Team customers
• Postgres Essential tier has no fork/follow, no HA, and only 99.5% uptime SLA -- a hidden reliability cliff vs. Standard
• Add-on overages (Postgres row/connection limits, Redis memory limits) can force an unplanned upgrade to the next tier
• Performance dynos require an established payment/billing history before they can be provisioned
• Private Spaces and Shield Private Spaces carry a substantial network-isolation premium (2-3x) over common-runtime equivalents
• Heroku Postgres Advanced tier pricing is not published; requires contacting sales
