Heroku was revolutionary, but was bought out (salesforce) and stagnated while retaining their 4x cost. More than a few of the addons i've used on heroku have shut down, and you still have to upgrade your app to the new heroku stack regularly, so hosting an app is not maintenance free.

I wish they had maintained momentum and attempted to price competitively, but at this point its probably too late.
