Heroku no longer offers free service, what's the best alternative now?

Heroku was such a simple and free experience to host side project and start developing. What is the best alternative now in terms of user-friendly and pricing?

I came across fly.io/. As anyone tried it before?

Render's Developer Community Manager here: I just want to share some information I see a lot of people asking for.1: We have a free tier that does not require a credit card for signup.2: We have support docs specifically for helping folks migrate from Heroku to Render. We also have a couple of blog posts that are more specific for migrating Django and Rails projects.3: We aim to be very transparent in the pricing and have tried to make a useful comparison here if you end up needing services beyond the free tier.

Just pick a VPS of 1 U$D a month or so and do your thing there. You can add multiple domains, projects etc with multiple techs in a single VPS and there's nothing cheaper in the long term AFAIK.

I built a similar service, not the best, but close to raw linux, and still in active development.
