|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic dyno | $7 | by number of developers (for one small app) | pricing page | 2026-10-21 |
| Standard-1X dyno | $25 | by number of developers (for one small app) | pricing page | 2026-10-21 |
Basic dyno: One Basic dyno (0.5 GB of memory) runs the app at $7 a month. Heroku Teams charges nothing for members (a $10 a month fee for teams over 5 people was dropped); a team can have 25 members. Bandwidth is not billed per GB (soft limit 2 TB per app a month). Worked out as $7 whatever the team size.
Standard-1X dyno: One Standard-1X dyno (0.5 GB of memory) at $25 a month, the first size with more than one dyno per process type and metrics. Worked out as $25 whatever the team size.
