The best Heroku alternative depends on what you actually used Heroku for.

If you used Heroku as a simple process host, Render, Railway, Fly.io, Google Cloud Run, AWS App Runner, DigitalOcean App Platform, and Coolify are natural comparisons. If you used Heroku as a full application platform with dynos, add-ons, config vars, logs, and Git deploys, the decision is more subtle.

W7S is a Heroku alternative for a specific and common app shape:

Use W7S when the app can be static assets, native backend routes, managed bindings, queues, schedules, and workflows instead of always-on processes.

That makes W7S better for small and medium apps where the process was mostly packaging around request handlers, background jobs, storage, and a deploy workflow from GitHub.
