Is it possible to set a spending limit on Heroku?

I have a Rails app deployed to Heroku on the Cedar Stack. I'd like to start running a nightly scheduled task, but in order to add the scheduler add-on, I need to give Heroku my credit card details.

I'm not sure how much this will end up costing, though, so I'd like to be able to set a spending limit on my Heroku account.

In other words, I'd like to be able to say "Please don't let me use dyno hours that will cost me more than $XXX per month".

Any ideas? Thanks!

I asked this same question on the Heroku forums. The answer is no, there is currently no way of setting a spending limit.

It is a feature they are considering implementing, though.

No, it's currently not possible to manage your cost natively with Heroku because they don't offer such feature at the moment.

However, there are a few third party solutions available. For example, the Heroku add-on cloudvertical claims to be able to track and analyse cloud infrastructure usage and costs.

There is also HireFire, a dyno manager.

If you search for Heroku scaling, or Heroku autoscaling, you will find a few solutions.

Disclaimer: I haven't tried them.
