Tell HN: Heroku disabling monthly plans?

4 points by Murkin ↗ HN
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?

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.

Double checked with another one - same answer

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

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.
