Will my Heroku app working on 1 web dyno stay active if I pay for 1 worker dyno?

Question

I currently have an app deployed on Heroku which runs on two web dynos so it won't go to sleep if it remains inactive for a certain time. Now if I scale it down to only one web dyno (free) and instead pay for one worker dyno, will Heroku always keep my app active?

Accepted Answer

It will still idle - you NEED to have more than a single web dyno
