Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Heroku
- There is no free dyno tier; the cheapest Eco dyno is $5 per month
- Eco dynos sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity, are restricted to personal accounts and allow only 2 process types
- Free SSL and 10 process types start at the Basic dyno at $7 per month
- Private and Shield dyno types require a Private Space, which is billed on top of the dynos
- Private Space dynos start at $250 per month for Private-M and $500 per month for Private-L
- Dyno prices are per dyno per month, so an app with several process types multiplies the bill
Microsoft OneDrive
- Storage is not sold standalone at these tiers; it is bundled into Microsoft 365 subscriptions, with Basic limited to 100 GB and only Personal and above reaching 1 TB per person
- Family and Premium plans cap shared storage at 1 TB per person even when only 1 of the allotted 6 people are using the subscription
- Subscriptions automatically renew and must be canceled through the Microsoft account dashboard to stop billing
