These cost $0.10 per instance hour. AWS Small instances, which have 1.7GB of memory, cost $0.06 per instance hour.

Edit: corrected.

Heroku has always cost more than raw EC2 because it does more.

How about Elastic Beanstalk? It seems like that's still cheaper than Heroku, especially when you start to scale up the dynos.

AWS sells convenience at a huge markup. Heroku also sells convenience, and (for what it does) a lot more of it than Amazon.

When and where that convenience is worth it depends entirely on you, personally I cannot imagine building directly on servers again without a very good reason.

Azure is $0.06 per instance hour too for their small (1.75GB).
