Question 1

What is the HEROKU* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The HEROKU* charge is a legitimate billing from Heroku, a cloud platform used by developers and businesses to host, run, and manage web applications. The charge reflects your subscription or usage fees for Heroku's cloud services. Heroku uses a variable pricing model, so the amount can differ each billing cycle depending on the dynos, add-ons, and resources your applications are consuming.

Question 2

Why does my HEROKU* charge vary in amount each month?

Accepted Answer

Heroku bills based on actual usage of its cloud platform resources, which is why the HEROKU* charge on your statement is not a fixed amount. Costs depend on factors like the number and type of dynos running your apps, any paid add-ons such as databases or logging tools, and how many hours those resources were active during the billing period. You can review a detailed breakdown of your usage and charges by logging into your Heroku account at heroku.com/billing.

Question 3

I don't recognize the HEROKU* charge — could my account have been compromised?

Accepted Answer

The HEROKU* charge is a known and legitimate billing descriptor used by Heroku, the cloud application platform. If you or someone at your organization signed up for a Heroku account to host an app or test a project, this charge would be expected. However, if you genuinely have no connection to Heroku, it is worth checking with colleagues or team members who may have used your payment details. You can also visit heroku.com/billing to review account activity and verify what services are being billed.

Question 4

How do I stop getting charged by Heroku and cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

To stop the HEROKU* charges from appearing on your statement, you need to manage or cancel your Heroku subscription directly through their billing page at heroku.com/billing. From there you can delete any active dynos, remove paid add-ons, and close your account if needed. Keep in mind that simply deleting an app may not stop all charges if add-ons are still active, so make sure to review all billable resources before expecting the charges to stop.
