Exactly. Not even a better Heroku, just a cheaper one is the main reason why people switch from it.

I've said it many times but a startup whose elevator pitch is "Heroku, but cheaper at scale" (and I mean exactly the same UX) would be worth billions

As far as I can tell, that's Render's pitch.

They aren't there just yet, but it wasn't far off last time I tried it ~6 months ago.

We're getting there. Which features would tip the scales for you? (in the last 6 months we've added managed Redis, SSH access, DDoS protection, a public API, a free tier, an improved dashboard, one-off jobs, and more: https://feedback.render.com/changelog)

We specifically needed SOC2 compliance. Annoying, but necessary.

I see you're working on it, that's great!
