Any idea or tutorial how to deploy Hugo on Heroku?

I think Hugo generated the static pages; so as you can see [here in the post](https://time2hack.com/2017/11/ways-to-host-single-page-application-spa-static-site-for-free/#4heroku)

You need to use the [static site buildpack](https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-static) to host static site on Heroku

I like the comparison you did for GH, Netlify, and Heroku.

Though I wanna add few other players in this area, **now.sh**, **Gitlab** and **Bitbucket**.

For me, the winner is Gitlab, of course, I have my personal opinions for it. Though Gitlab wins all the factors you mentioned above as

-   Pricing
-   Ease of setup
-   Ease of deployment
-   Continuous integration/deployment
-   Custom domain names

[Some other ways to host pages for Free](https://time2hack.com/2017/11/ways-to-host-single-page-application-spa-static-site-for-free/)

And using Gitlab [for Static Site](https://time2hack.com/2018/07/host-your-static-site-on-gitlab-pages/) and [for Image Hosting](https://time2hack.com/2019/07/free-image-hosting-with-github-gitlab-pages/)

On GitLab, it's hard to make an edit (copy + paste) via mobile.

I agree it is hard to edit the post on mobile as it is not built for the mobile. Though take any other platform, I think, they don't fully provide mobile editing.
