Heroku does indeed require a credit card when registering, but don't worry, unless you're making a large application, you won't ever get charged for anything.
They charge for something called "dynos", which are basically instances of virtual machines, and you can increase the amount and power for each application you've got.
This app is very small, it will never require anything serious, so go with the default choice when creating an app (ONE dyno, 1X power), as seen in this screenshot, and this setup is completely free, no hidden fees or anything:
