What I meant by that was that we weren't giving away 500 hours on a micro or small instance. We've not found them very useful for Rails/Ruby web apps. It costs us more to give away 500 hours of mediums, but we think the experience is a lot better.
This isn't a jab at heroku. We had the option to provide micro, small, or medium instances. We host most of our apps on mediums so this is a good, powerful instance. 500 hours on a micro is nothing compared to 500 hours on a medium.
