I used to use Heroku and have switched to Render for my newer projects. It's basically a newer and cheaper version of Heroku.
I was just researching recently because there's a fair chance I might ship a few more projects and see which sticks; so wanted to know what is a more cost effective option to have many, low traffic sites. Even Render starts to get expensive as you run more of them (I still have projects hanging around from more than a year ago).
If you are using Ruby on Rails, It's worth checking out Hatchbox.io. It looks really attractive price-wise. I can't use it unfortunately because I'm using node/bun. I'll check out coolify.io/ at some point since that seems to be closer to Hatchbox.io but not tied to RoR.
I built this little comparison calculator for the services I looked at for SEO, but you can see if it helps you at least get an idea of the difference in models of PaaS vs VM vs VM+hatchbox pingnow.net/hosting-comparison
