Ohh boy. I have a few apps on Heroku under the free plan. Seems I've got to give them up as I only use them occasionally. 😁
I think a better approach could have been changing free accounts to free trials for some limited time period.
I don't know what their reasoning for completely removing the free plans but I also think that they should consider this limited free trial.
Thanks for sharing this update.

Just create an opportunity for use to explore different options and gain more skills along the way. Otherwise, Heroku just works and there was no need to consider other options.
