How accurate is this Heroku cost calculator?

It uses 2026 Heroku list prices for a like-for-like setup and pairs it with a real cloud server plus an Appliku plan. It is an estimate: your actual Heroku bill and server needs depend on your usage, but the comparison reflects what teams typically see.

Do I have to manage the server myself with Appliku?

No. You own the server and pay the cloud provider directly, but Appliku sets it up and keeps it healthy for you. Patching, backups, and deploys are not your job. You just push code.

What does the Appliku price include?

The Appliku subscription plus your own cloud server, billed separately by the provider. Paid plans start at $18/mo and include a live done-for-you migration of your first app. Start free, no credit card.
