What about the standard of "I'm young and this is a side project I'm doing in a couple of hours at the weekends"? Of course once you have a real company with more than two customers $75 is nothing. But version 0.1 is often a tool that's only useful to you.
Heroku has free dynos for side projects, and hobby dynos ($7/dyno/month) for slightly-less-side projects. So that original $75/m quote isn't quite right for that situation.

Yes it is, our EC2 instances have 1 GB of ram, the 7$ dyno has 512 MB.
Young people doing side projects on the cheap... are they Heroku's bread and butter?
