Hey Aidas. I ran a twitter bot for my previous startup on Heroku on a worker Dyno. They seem to have a generous free plan

I am thinking mainly about the bot that Luise Haack asked to create that retweets tweets with a certain hashtag. But maybe I will need such a bot for personal projects too.

Interesting. I built a bot for the same use case https://twitter.com/AstramindBot

Tiago Ferreira Did you consider using DigitalOcean? It’s more cost effective. Starts at 5$ / month.

She would probably also need some guidance. Or I will build a quick similar bot with Python. I saw some tutorials for that online.

Oh right ya, I myself built it by seeing a medium tutorial. There’s quite a lot of resources on this

1&1 VPS starts at 1-2€ right now. Which would be sufficient for such a bot (or even sth. more complex when using cloud functions)

Thank you all for your support. I am currently not working on the project I wanted to have the bot for. Will let you know once/in case I resume.

Aidas Bendoraitis I use a serverless stack on AWS. a scheduled lambda function and a DB (on DigitalOcean actually) but you can use Heroku for free in case you need a cheap one.
