Yes, you've misunderstood me. You're also certainly welcome to build your application on a competing platform. We'd welcome the feedback as well as an apples-to-apples cost comparison. I'll point out, though, that 1.3 CPU hours a day incurs no cost. You'd have the same issue on any other platform provider: if something costs more, you'd be advised to collect data to try to scientifically determine the cost of the increase.
