It comes out to about $2000 per ap hosted on Heroku. Pretty good considering most of those aps are probably free. Of course they are hoping for growth, and Heroku has been adding almost a hundred apps per day.

If my "app" on Heroku is counted in that hosted app number, then people must assign a lot of value to a one page web app that simply states "welcomes to rails." I suspect there are other apps on the service that compete direectly with mine.

  • Your app probably isn't running, so it's not included in their 106,000 number. They spin down apps every 24 hours, and only start them up when they get a hit.

  • I have my account filled with tiny apps that barely do anything from when I was making apps to learn rails. There should be a ton of people like this too.
