I'm using free tier and this is the best option if you know how to find the workaround.

Big fan, couldn't be much better. You can deploy your service fast in test, and if you need you can also deploy a testing branch to your Git feature branch. I mean, for a free service, what more do you want! :) Cheers Render.com

It's so easy to deploy and there is even a great free tier, the free tier spins down with 15 seconds no requests, but it's free and does not take much to go back automatically and just for a bit of money you can make it never spin down, really, really easy to set up

It is amazing, easy to set up. I set up database in 2 min and push docker image on web serivce and it is work from first try, and did take 3 mins. It take no more then 5 minos.

Thanks Robert!
I've been using the free Web Service plan of Render for the last couple of days, and it works surprisingly well, definitely better than Heroku. They support custom domains (with SSL and without having to connect a credit card), and it just works fast. After 15 minutes of inactivity, your app goes to sleep, but it wakes up way faster than Heroku does. If the free service is this good, who knows how much better the paid ones will be.
