Most importantly, why are Ninefold's monthly packages more expensive (assuming a 30-day month) than were you to use their hourly rate in their calculator?
Alright, so it's outbound traffic + app storage that you pay for. (After all, you can set the DB disk size in the calculator)
It's still a bit confusing though, (IMHO), given that the discrepancy between hourly & monthly rates grows bigger the bigger your package is. It starts off from ~0.2 USD and goes up to ~400 USD if you max everything out and there's no detailed description of what additions are contained in the monthly package.
Also, on the more detailed pricing page their "recent prices" are broken and only show if you switch to Asia + then back to the US. Furthermore, do you need to pay for the server's forced minimum storage requirements (e.g. 20 GB * 0.16 USD per ? - I'm assuming monthly here) or do you only have to pay for your additional requirements?
EDIT: also, the suggested packages on the more detailed overview page list a 512mb RAM / 1 vCPU instance which is no longer available at all - (isn't that what heroku offers for free)?

The monthly packages include an assumed package with disk for the VMs, disk for DB, and IP addresses. The hourly rate is raw VM pricing solely.
