I'm also interested in what has changed. The dyno-hour prices of $0.05, $0.10, $0.80 for 1X, 2X and PX, respectively, seem the same as before.

I tried to post this yesterday[0] and fell off the new stories list, but such is HN.

Basically, they're nerfing their free tier by charging $7/month for a 24/7 running app. People wanting to run a free app may look at App Engine or AWS's one year free tier, or compare the price among other "cloud" and cloud-ish services.

Link doesn't work for me. From another source I found: Free – Experiment in your own dev or demo app with a web and a worker dyno for free. Sleeps after 1 hr of inactivity. Active up to 12 hours a day. No custom domains. 512 MB RAM. Hobby – Run a small app 24×7 with the Heroku developer experience for $7/dyno/mo. Custom domains.

So, it seems that the change for production apps is that you can now somehow commit to a monthly price for dynos and get a discount.

  1X – $25/month compared to $36.5/month (by the hour).
  2X – $50/month compared to $73/month (by the hour).
  PX – $500/month compared to $584/month (by the hour).

Well, that just nuked my blog, and also my company's hubot.

Ah well, guess I'll need to properly support that hubot now.
