These &quot;Heroku is too expensive&quot; comments all look at absolute costs and not relative costs. They are paying roughly $200 a month to Heroku. If you do some rough calculations to figure out revenue (use Stripe fees and make assumptions about yearly&#x2F;monthly plan breakdown) you can reasonably estimate about $3,000 in monthly billings. The incremental savings couldn&#x27;t possibly outweigh the time costs of switching to another provider.<p>If using Digital Ocean allows them to move faster, then sure that makes more sense. But doubt that&#x27;s true in this case.
