Tell HN: Heroku disabling monthly plans?

4 points by Murkin 2 years ago | 6 comments

Just had an email exchange with our Heroku (Salesforce) account admin - they claim that from August 1st, all Heroku accounts must be on a year or multi-year plans. No more monthly metered payments.

Has anyone heard the same?

Update - after more prodding both representative mentioned that you can actually move to monthly. It's just something that they can't (don't) want to enable. "Heroku online" exists but being aggressively hidden.

If anyone's intending to move to a full cloud such as AWS or GCP, we have built easy migration paths at Argonaut.

Seems like an abrupt change, even by Heroku's standards.

Can you post a screenshot?

These is what I got sent:

From August 1, SF will change her price list so Heroku customers won't be able to work on a monthly payment.

Yes, all of the customers will be contract-based customers and will sign a yearly/multiyear contract.

Concerning if the rep is correct. Hopefully they're mistaken.
