Not really — if you were paying $35/month JUST to have always-on dynos, you should be able to downgrade to the $7/month hobby tier.

If you really needed that 2nd dyno for performance reasons, then yeah, it's a price hike.

For production apps, 2 dynos is the least you need not only because of sleep, but also because of redundancy. So there's no way of downgrading to the Hobby tier for lots of us.

For 2 dynos the price increase is 44,9%!
