The pricing page has become somewhat gimmicky with the 750 hours free thing. Just a flaky response to EY 500 hours free promo I think. There's nothing new about this - you get a free dyno every month as others have indicated.
Korny - here's a list of useful free addons that all fulfil a simple but useful generalist purpose for most app dev. cron:daily -- daily jobs but now you can use a clock process in the celadon cedar release to do fine grained management of repetitive tasks custom_domains:basic -- myapp.mydomain.com to point to blah.heroku.com logging:expanded -- very useful logging memcache:5mb -- handy newrelic:standard -- invaluable, and when you get 'serious' might be worth upgrading for more new relic features pgbackups:basic -- self explanatory releases:basic -- good to see quickly the sha of the last push you did sendgrid:free -- email shared-database:5mb -- usual free ssl:piggyback -- free ssl (other good stuff to explore is redis, s3, rds ... but the above gets you up and running fast with all frequently used addons imho) ...and I think the SLUG size is actually a 100Mb. If you're just getting started its worth reading about the new celadon cedar release.
