Move your Discord bot off Heroku
Heroku killed its free dynos, and the cheapest always-on dyno is now $7/mo. Bring your bot here instead — $5/mo flat, always on, no Procfile or buildpacks to babysit.
Bring your code and config vars. Your bot doesn't change.
Heroku stopped being free
Heroku deleted its free dynos in November 2022, and a lot of bots went down with them. The cheapest dyno that stays awake is $7/mo; the $5 Eco dyno sleeps after 30 minutes of inactivity — which drops a Discord gateway connection. For a bot that just needs to stay online, you end up paying more to babysit buildpacks and a Procfile than the hosting is worth.
| Heroku | VibeBot | |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest always-on | Basic dyno, $7/mo | $5/mo |
| Sleeps when idle | Eco dyno sleeps after 30 min | Never sleeps |
| Auto-restart on crash | Manual / add-ons | Built in |
| Setup | Procfile + buildpacks + CLI | Paste your code |
| Built for | General PaaS | Discord bots |
How the move works
Bring your code
The same bot you deployed to Heroku — paste it into your control panel. No rewrite.
Skip the Heroku parts
No Procfile, no buildpacks, no heroku.yml. Paste your config vars as environment variables.
Go live at $5/mo
Built, sandboxed, online 24/7, auto-restart on crash.
Bot been down since a Heroku change? We'll debug it, hand back the fixed code, and host it here — no fix, no fee.

Do I have to change my code?
No — if it ran on a Heroku worker dyno, it runs here.
What about my config vars?
Paste them as environment variables during setup — same keys and values.
What about Heroku Postgres?
Keep it — point your bot at the same connection string, or any managed Postgres.
Is it free like Heroku used to be?
No — and neither is Heroku anymore. You're paying for a bot that stays up: $5/mo flat, no sleep.
My bot's been broken since a Heroku change — can you help?
Yes — flat $200, no fix no fee, and we host the working version. Most fixes back in 24–48 hours.
