I used Heroku’s free tier for small projects/prototype. I continue to use their cheapest offering for new projects because it saves me time. If a project grows, I can reevaluate my choice. I don’t think anything in Heroku is a pain to migrate away from. I would miss the intuitive/familiar UI.

Check out render.com, it's a solid alternative.

We currently use render. Its excellent, but is missing a couple key features: like Heroku's continuous rollback protection. If they offered this they'd be head and shoulders better.

(Render CEO) We're actively working on Point-in-Time Recovery and hope to launch it in early access soon.

Think we (Crunchy Data) has been mentioned a few times below and have near feature parity with Heroku Postgres (only thing missing is dataclips coming this quarter). We've got folks that migrate the DB to us then use a whole host of other options including Fly, Railway, Render, etc.
