Looks like they've quietly (?) deprecated the hobby plan too. Getting 3 instances a month for free was probably too good to be true forever..

Why do you think that? Still visible here: https://fly.io/plans/personal

I hope they don't cancel this plan, currently on it :D

EDIT: Ohh, it's only visible when I'm logged in, weird...

EDIT2: ...indeed

> The paid Hobby plan and the Legacy Hobby plan are not available for new sign-ups.

damn :(

> If you were on the free Hobby plan at the time that the paid Hobby plan became the default for new organizations, your plan is now called the Legacy Hobby plan. Your costs stay the same as they were, with no monthly subscription fee, and no included usage beyond the free resource allowances.

so i get to use the legacy hobby plan because i'm grandfathered in, nice. only use it for a hobby project with one instance anyways(see bio), if they really decide to start charging me i'll gladly leave.

Heya, we deprecated pretty loudly! We made a post on the community forum [0] and we sent an email to all active accounts saying the following:

> The first improvement we're excited to announce is that the $5 Hobby plan is no more. We're replacing it with a very simple Pay As You Go plan. On this plan there's no more upfront $5 charge and no minimum monthly commitment. You only pay for what you use. If you don't use anything for a given month you pay $0. You still need a credit card on file to prevent abuse. But your card is only charged if you use the service.

If you're going to stand behind your product, I'm not sure posting with a throwaway sends the strongest message.

random side note, it would be nice if the region selector for regional pricing would display human readable region labels in addition to 3 letter acronyms.

Why a throwaway?

I didn’t get this email. I don’t check the forums for announcements

Whoa, they did get rid of it. Not surprising in the least, but they definitely did it with a minimum of fanfare. When Heroku got rid of their free plans at least they were upfront and released a blog post about it. Maybe they did and I just didn't notice.
