Hi, I'm on the billing team at Heroku and your analysis of the pricing is correct. All of our products are pro-rated to the second, so you could try the MySQL addon, for example, for a couple of days and do some load testing to make sure it meets your needs. We'll only charge you for the time you've used. If it turns out that it doesn't meet your needs you can deprovision it and we'll stop charging you for it. Also, we don't offer MySQL directly, it's provided by a third-party addon provider. I'm not up-to-speed about the quality of their service, so I can't give you any advice there.
Thanks, J.
