I also find it sad how good Heroku still is when compared to Render or other similar services. Sad because Heroku has built such an incredible experience that others still haven’t caught up to after all these years.

Render is close, but they’re still missing a lot of important details that makes deploying Rails apps as easy as Heroku. Instead they kind of throw the manual at you and expect you to read a tutorial.

It's definitely fair to mention and I really appreciate your comparison since it shows the major price disparity.

I'm just complaining to complain lol.
