How it works
- How much does Heroku Basic + Postgres cost?
- 1× Basic dyno ($7) + Essential-0 Postgres ($5) = $12/mo. 1× Standard-1X ($25) + Essential-1 ($9) + Key-Value Mini ($3) = $37/mo. 2× Standard-1X + Essential-2 ($20) = $70/mo (as of 2026-11-04).
- How does Eco pricing work?
- Eco is $5 and personal-apps only; dynos sleep after ~30 minutes of inactivity. The Eco subscription is a flat $5 for 1,000 Eco dyno hours per month shared account-wide — you cannot buy more; when exhausted, Eco dynos are forced to sleep for the rest of the month. Workers do not sleep.
- Which dyno types are included?
- Cedar: Eco $5, Basic $7, Standard-1X $25 / 2X $50, Performance-M $250 through Performance-2XL $1,500, plus Private-S $125 … Shield-2XL $1,800. Private and Shield require a Private Space (extra platform cost — not in this estimate). Fir dynos are footnote-only in v1.
- Which Postgres and Key-Value plans are modeled?
- Postgres Essential-0 $5 (1 GB), Essential-1 $9 (10 GB), Essential-2 $20 (32 GB), plus a short Standard/Premium subset (Standard-0 $50 …; no Standard-1 on the page — it jumps 0→2) and a custom “other plan $” input. Key-Value: Mini $3, Premium-0 $15 … Premium-5 $200. Kafka / Advanced Postgres = park / footnote.
- Are these quotes?
- No. List prices checked on 2026-11-04 (Asia/Shanghai) from heroku.com/pricing, the Eco dyno-hours docs and Postgres plans docs. Taxes, Private Space fees and discounts are excluded. Provider pages prevail.
