Wonder if they have an idle/spin up time. Only their one instance plan is $5, but I know I have to buy more than one on heroku to get no idle/spin up time - that or use hacks like constant pingers, etc.. This is important for when I'm doing experiments/UI tests/alpha tests/submitting apps for reviews before they have any consistent traffic, but I don't want them to occasionally get stuck on 15 second spin up times on requests.

There are some websites that will ping your heroku instance every few minutes for free. Works great for me.
