3 cents per hour per instance instance after the first. With this space heating up so much, how do you compete with competitors offering free apps at the entry level. Sure, maybe you pick up better clients, but the other model still give you more prospects.

Either way, it's nice to be able to create dev / staging / experimental instances which aren't costing 3 cents per hour. I could host these on my own VPS and use Duostack for production only, but I'm more likely to use Heroku for the full stack.

Edit: The first app is free, but my point is still valid.

The docs page has been updated to note that the listed pricing is per app, so it will always be free to run single-instance apps. Thanks for the feedback.

Sorry, the way we list it might not be clear. The first instance for each app is free. So all apps are free, unless you add extra instances.

Ah, that makes a world of difference. Thanks for the correction. Next question... when do you I get my invite? I tweeted under gexla - johnDOTfullerATgmailDOTcom

This is an interesting pricing model. Most of the others are going for a fixed monthly rate. This is very fair. Let us see how it works.
