Hello, Larry!
Thanks for your kind words!

Yes, with Heroku it is hard to be playing around with multiple apps. Invoices are getting bigger super quick. One of the ideas behind Appliku was allowing running multiple apps (low traffic, non-production environments, etc) without the added cost of running each of them.

This is important no matter what stage in your career or how big is your company. You still need room for experiments without being punished with invoices.

So while on the free plan Appliku allows only 1 server and 1 app, on $9/mo it allows 1 server (doesn't matter which size - you can be as small or as big as you want) and unlimited apps.

So if you choose AWS with their free tier for a year you can be just paying $9/mo for everything and have as many apps as you want. If they don't fit on the server (because of RAM) you can just disable not interesting until you want them back. But your expenses will be the same.

Let me know if you need any help, I know how being a beginner is hard while trying to code stuff, let alone deploying your app :)

Wish you the best!
