Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about switching from Heroku
Is Anchorscape really a Heroku alternative?
Yes. Anchorscape provides everything Heroku does—zero-config deployment, auto-scaling, and managed infrastructure—plus built-in security scanning and automated code fixes that Heroku doesn't offer.
How much does Anchorscape cost compared to Heroku?
Anchorscape offers a generous free tier (unlike Heroku which eliminated theirs in 2022). Our paid plans start lower than Heroku's equivalent offerings, and you get security scanning and auto-remediation included.
Can I migrate from Heroku to Anchorscape?
Absolutely. If your app runs on Heroku, it runs on Anchorscape. We support Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and Docker containers. Migration typically takes under 30 minutes.
Does Anchorscape have cold starts like Heroku?
No. Unlike Heroku's eco dynos that sleep after 30 minutes, Anchorscape keeps your apps warm. Your users get instant responses, not loading spinners.
