Here are the three that I know of that are equivalent to what Heroku used to offer([1],[2]):

- https://fly.io/pricing (requires credit card)

- https://northflank.com/pricing

- https://www.koyeb.com/pricing

Runners up:

- https://render.com/pricing (sleeps after 15 minutes, 30s spin-up)

- https://qoddi.com/#pricing (no custom domains)

- https://railway.app/pricing (only runs 500hrs/month, but doesn't require credit card)

- https://appliku.com/#pricing (only Django, no custom domains)

Note: Fly.io is the only one of these I have actually used. I like it so far. I plan to migrate my Heroku apps to Fly. Edit: just tried their automatic migration tool ( https://fly.io/launch/heroku ) and it works like a charm!
