I always start a project on a free / hobby tier. I’ll have a few going and they’ll be using basically zero resources because they have no visitors except testers and alpha / beta users.
When a project is ready - click - I switch to paid and start paying. Probably also add the cloudfront add-on. Maybe a faster database etc
If I have to go build the beta version somewhere else (Vercel most likely) I’m not going to switch back to Heroku to host the paid version. I’ve been dealt liking Vercel lately so this is a good excuse to move everting (free and paid) over there.
