Has anyone used scalingo? How has the experience been? The pricing is favourable but I've never heard of them.

Yup I have, and it's pretty much everything you expect a PaaS to be. The S container feels way faster than a HK dyno, imho.
I've used it for a couple of projects and it works great! The CLI tools are really helpful
I used them once, it's a good service. I prefer Scalingo over Heroku because there is no virtualisation layer.
Maybe they're leveraging the recent outrage over Heroku/CISA?

That's nice!
In fact we started the project in june 2013 because even though we were very fond of the way of thinking proposed by Heroku (git push and that's all), their pricing was way too high to target a lot more people.
Since 6 months, I've got a couple application in production there. Got a couple bugs during the beta, which were quickly fixed apart from that everything is fine.
I am using them for many months, works great for most of my projects, easy to maintain, easy to scale.

Love that they support Meteor natively, without a specific buildpack to install.
