How do I cancel Heroku?
5 min Self-serve No fee To cancel
Short answer
Cancel Heroku's Eco plan from the Billing page in the Heroku Dashboard: unsubscribe from Eco and delete or transfer any paid apps and add-ons. It takes about 5 minutes, and the Eco hours remain usable through the end of the current month. Eco costs the full monthly fee even when cancelled partway through a month, and no partial-month refund is documented.
