The pricing gap between Heroku and Pulumi runs about 8.0x — significant consideration for scaling.
For experimentation and testing, Pulumi wins with its free tier option — something Heroku doesn't offer.
Their pricing models diverge: Heroku uses flat-rate, while Pulumi operates on a hybrid basis.
Price-conscious teams should choose Heroku — the cost advantage is hard to ignore, especially for growing workloads.
