Updated
Unbabel's self-serve AI-translation product Widn.ai is scheduled to be decommissioned on 2026-08-27 and replaced by TransPerfect's GlobalLink Now. Widn.ai was Unbabel's only public price ladder (Free / $19 / $90 / Custom); its retirement returns the company to a fully sales-gated posture under the GlobalLink brand following the August 2025 TransPerfect acquisition.
Details6sense pulled the free Sales Intelligence tier (50 data credits/mo, Start for Free) from its pricing page; the page now shows only three quote-based Sales Intelligence bundles, all routing to Book a Demo.
DetailsArtisan removed its public credit-pool rate card for the second time, replacing Free/Intern ($250)/Employee ($600) with three quote-only tiers — Team (~2,500 leads/mo), Scale (~6,000), Enterprise — all 'Talk to sales.'
DetailsBright Data restructured Web Unlocker, SERP API, and Web Scraper API from a four-tier committed ladder to a Free / PAYG / Scale / Enterprise model, adding a recurring 5,000-results/month free tier (no card) and dropping the old $1.1 and $1.0 per-1k committed rates.
DetailsBright Data raised its Bright Insights eCommerce-intelligence list prices sharply: the eCommerce Tracker moved from $250/mo and Sales & Market Share from $400/mo to a $2,000/mo starting price for each — a 5x-8x increase on the published get-a-quote floor.
DetailsCovariant.ai now shows only a logo and copyright line; the marketing site and Contact-us sales motion are gone, signaling a wind-down after the 2024 Amazon deal.
DetailsDaily's Video SDK rate card added a dedicated PSTN phone-number SKU at $2 per number per month, and the discounted audio-only participant-minute rate now applies automatically instead of requiring an email to sales.
DetailsDeepInfra lifted dedicated GPU rates 16-32% (H100 to .20, B200 to .69, B300 to .89/GPU-hr) and raised DeepSeek-V3.1 to /bin/bash.25//bin/bash.95 per 1M tokens, a notable reversal for a vendor known for cutting prices.
DetailsDify rebuilt dify.ai/pricing into one unified page: the old Cloud-vs-Self-hosted toggle is gone, Dify Cloud now sits beside a Self-Hosted & Enterprise column, and the Monthly/Annually switch defaults to Annually — exposing annual list prices (Professional $590/workspace/yr, Team $1590/yr; 17 pct off) that were previously gated. Monthly $59/$159 unchanged; new per-tier quota dimensions added.
DetailsExa raised its free tier from 1,000 to 20,000 requests per month and repriced the Agent endpoint: headline range now /bin/bash.012–.00/run, X-high cut from .00 to .00, plus a new /bin/bash.012 Minimal mode.
DetailsGoogle added AlphaEvolve, the DeepMind evolutionary coding agent, to Vertex AI pricing, billed as the Gemini model rate plus a 2x agent surcharge (3x all-in), e.g. 6 USD / 36 USD per 1M on Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview.
DetailsGorgias repackaged its AI Agent from a pay-as-you-go add-on into a bundled plan component with an included automated-interaction allotment, and raised the overage rate past the allotment from $0.90 to $1.50 per interaction.

DetailsLinkup adds a closed-beta Extract endpoint (structured crawl, variable ~$2-$10/task, $10 minimum balance) and corrects the pricing page Deep-search range from $0.05-$0.55 down to $0.05-$0.055, matching its billing docs.
DetailsMem added a third pricing tier, Mem Proactive, at 9/month (7-day free trial), bundling a new always-on Mem Agent. The old custom-quoted Mem Teams tier was dropped from the pricing page.
DetailsMercor Experts hero average contracted rate jumped from $80/hr to $122/hr in two weeks, and its Enterprise page now advertises a $2B+ revenue run rate, double the $1B+ shown through June 2026.

DetailsModal added the B300 (Blackwell Ultra) GPU at /bin/bash.001972/sec above the B200, plus a separately-metered Sandbox + Notebooks tier at ~3x standard CPU/memory rates, and now itemizes region (1.5-1.75x) and non-preemptible (3x) modifiers.
DetailsNetlify's Pro plan added a Choose a Pro tier selector: the $20/month base still includes 3,000 credits, with new selectable 5,000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000-credit monthly tiers above it. Headline plan prices unchanged.
DetailsOpenRouter's bring-your-own-key free allotment shifts from 1M requests/month (5M Enterprise) to $25,000/month of list-price inference ($200,000 Enterprise), keeping the 5% fee after.
DetailsPowerdrill re-packaged its Bloom credit model: every tier now includes 1,000 daily refreshed credits, and each paid tier reads 1,000 daily + N monthly credits (Pro 5,000 / Plus 11,000 / Premium 60,000). Headline monthly prices were unchanged.
DetailsResemble AI stripped all voice-generation per-second rates and voice-clone add-ons from its pricing page, leaving only deepfake-detection, verification and watermarking usage; it also dropped the published 80% Enterprise discount and raised the sales threshold from 500 to 2,000 dollars per month.
DetailsRunPod trimmed two Secure Cloud Pod rates: H100 SXM (80GB) dropped from .29 to .99/hr and RTX Pro 6000 (96GB) from .09 to .99/hr, while the rest of the per-hour, Serverless, Clusters, and storage rate cards held.
DetailsSmartlead lifted every plan - Base $32 to $39, Pro $78 to $94, Smart $144 to $174, Prime $315 to $379 - while cutting Prime's send cap from 5.69M to 500K/mo and free verified emails from 2.04M to 170K.
DetailsTogether AI launched a Provisioned Throughput (PTU) SKU at $0.05/PTU-min and cut Dedicated Inference rates — on-demand H100 to $5.49/hr, B200 to $8.99/hr.
Detailsturbopuffer reduced the entry-tier Launch plan monthly minimum from $64 to $16, a 75% cut to its cheapest paid floor, for all new and existing customers.
DetailsUnstructured restructured its per-page Serverless API: the 15,000 free pages now reset every month instead of being a one-time allowance, and Pay-As-You-Go bills are capped at ,000/mo — above which pages are free up to 1 million pages a month.
DetailsWeights & Biases added ARIA — a token-based-pricing product — as its own metered line on the pricing compare table, free for a limited time on Free and Pro and included on Enterprise. Core tiers and meters unchanged.
DetailsxAI shipped grok-4.5, an intelligence-first flagship (500k context) priced at $2 in / $6 out per 1M tokens — its first new flagship priced above the prior one, with grok-4.3 kept live at $1.25 / $2.50.
DetailsAnthropic launched Claude Sonnet 5 as the new production-standard Sonnet tier at introductory $2/$10 per 1M tokens through Aug 31, 2026, then standard $3/$15 — undercutting the long-held Sonnet band during the intro window.
DetailsAssemblyAI added a Voice Agent API at .50/hr (/bin/bash.075/min), broke Guardrails out as a priced family, and reorganized its pricing page into six product tabs while keeping async rates flat.

DetailsDynamics 365 keeps its per-user per-app seat ladder (0–00/mo) but now meters autonomous agents separately in Copilot Credits — 1 credit per classic answer, 2 generative, 5 per agent action, 10 for tenant-graph grounding.
DetailsMistral increased developer-API prices while holding Vibe consumer plans flat: Mistral Small 4 rose to $0.15 in / $0.6 out per M tokens and the OCR model (now OCR 4) doubled to $4 per 1,000 pages ($5 with Document AI).
DetailsOxylabs dropped the Web Scraper API Regular/Enterprise tab split for a single Micro/Starter/Business/Custom+ grid, removing the Advanced, Venture and Corporate named tiers from the page. Per-1K rates on surviving tiers are unchanged.

DetailsRunPod repriced Serverless flex GPU workers — H200 up to $5.93/hr, H100 to $4.55/hr, RTX 6000 Pro cut to $3.49/hr, L40-class to $1.75/hr — and added B300 ($9.98/hr) and RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell ($1.15/hr) worker SKUs.
DetailsSnowflake moved Cortex AI features onto a new AI Credit meter priced by routing (.00 global / .20 regional), decoupling AI cost from Snowflake edition; Platform Credits (//) still cover warehouse compute and storage.
DetailsSpeechmatics cut real-time enhanced speech-to-text from /bin/bash.56 to /bin/bash.43/hr, added a /bin/bash.129/hr multilingual Batch Melia 1 model, and grew the free tier to 3,000 minutes (50 hours) per month.
DetailsVercel Agent appears on the main pricing page as a BETA AI SKU billed $0.25 per million tokens plus pass-through model cost on Pro, with Code Review and Investigations capabilities.
DetailsWeaviate removed its Plus plan ($280/mo, SSO, 99.9% uptime); Weaviate Cloud now ships three tiers — Free, Flex ($45/mo PAYG) and Premium ($400/mo prepaid) — with SSO, 99.95% uptime and shared-or-dedicated deployment consolidated into Premium.
DetailsCreatify raised its Platform plans — Starter $33 to $39/mo and Pro $49 to $99/mo — while cutting the annual-billing discount from up to 50% to up to 15% and capping the Pro credit-pool slider at 1,000 credits.
DetailsDeepInfra introduced a per-request Service Tier on its pricing page: Standard stays 1× base price, while a new Priority tier bills 1.5× for faster time-to-first-token during peak demand.
DetailsHume AI exposed a model toggle on its pricing page: EVI 4 MINI runs at roughly half the EVI 3 per-minute overage and Octave 2 roughly halves Octave 1 per-character overage while doubling minutes per character. Tier prices are unchanged.
DetailsIntercom's June-2026 new-customer offer cutting Essential 35% ($19/seat, $228/yr) has ended; the pricing page and calculator now show Essential at its flat $29/seat list rate ($348/yr). Advanced, Expert, and the $0.99/Fin meter are unchanged.

DetailsLokalise dropped its Growth plan from $499 to $375/mo (annual billing) and removed the $0 Free tier, making Explorer ($144/mo) the entry plan; Growth's bundled allowances also shrank.
DetailsMercor renamed its Experts hero metric from average pay to average contracted rate and dropped the figure from $141/hr to $80/hr, while roles created climbed to 287.1K and buyer-side pricing stayed fully sales-gated.

DetailsRecraft gave its newest V4.1 models a separate, lower API tier: V4.1 raster dropped to /bin/bash.035 (from /bin/bash.04) and V4.1 Pro raster to /bin/bash.21 (from /bin/bash.25).
DetailsRunPod added the Blackwell-Ultra B300 (288GB HBM3e) at $7.39/hr as the new top of its Secure Cloud Pod ladder, above B200 ($5.89/hr), and re-sorted L40S to $0.99 and L40 to $0.82.
DetailsShortwave repriced all four paid seats up — Pro $14 to $18, Business $24 to $30, Premier $36 to $45, Max $100 to $120 per seat/mo — and dropped the annual toggle so the page now quotes a single monthly per-seat price.
DetailsTogether cut GPU Cluster rates: on-demand HGX H100 to $3.99/hr (from $4.79) and reserved 7–30 day H100 to $3.59/hr (from $4.19), with the 91–180 day reserved floor at $3.09/hr.
DetailsVercel's v0 Max Fast model drops to $10/1M input and $50/1M output tokens (from $30/$150) and the legacy Ultra/Premium tier is retired, leaving Free, Team ($30), Business ($100) and Enterprise.
Detailscontinue.dev/pricing now serves an acquisition announcement that Continue has been acquired by Cursor, with no plan pricing. The hosted Starter, Team and Company tiers are no longer published; the open-source extension stays free.
DetailsDust scrapped its flat €29/seat unlimited-message plan for a USD, credit-metered model with three seat types — Free ($0), Pro ($30/mo, $24 yearly), Max ($150/mo, $120 yearly) — plus its first free tier.
DetailsFrase held its $49/$129/$299 prices but added per-plan meters (AI generations, Content Guard pages, API caps), productized Frase Answers, and switched overage to optional pay-as-you-go that is off by default.
DetailsIntercom now runs a new-customer offer taking the Essential plan 35% off, from $29 to $19 per seat/month ($348 → $228/yr). Advanced ($85), Expert ($132), and the $0.99/Fin-outcome meter are unchanged.

DetailsRunway retired its $95 Unlimited tier and replaced it with Max at the same price, swapping unmetered Explore-mode generation for a 9,500-credit monthly allowance (up from 2,250) plus 1-month credit roll-over.
DetailsSynthflow pulled its self-serve per-minute pay-as-you-go path off the pricing page and now shows a single Enterprise plan — contracts from $30,000/year, scoped and quoted via Contact Sales.
DetailsTavus restructured its developer Conversational Video Interface plans into six tiers — adding a $22/mo Starter entry plan and a $975/mo Business tier, renaming the old $59 plan to Builder, and cutting per-minute overage rates.
DetailsTogether cut GPU cluster rates (on-demand H100 $5.49→$4.79, reserved 7–30d H100 $4.99→$4.19), repriced serverless models, and began publishing cached-input rates on serverless inference.
DetailsWellSaid Labs replaced its single $50 Creative seat with two new tiers — Starter $10/mo and Pro $33/mo (annual) — and switched its capacity meter from downloads/year to minutes/year of downloaded audio.

DetailsAiSDR moved from credit-and-message tiers to AI-researched-contacts metering (Solo $250 / Explore $900 / Scale $2,500) and added a new $250 month-to-month entry plan.
DetailsCanva now excludes Leonardo.Ai Essential features during a Canva Business free trial; the bundled access enables only once the trial converts to a paid subscription.
DetailsDocket prices its AI marketing agent by monthly website visitors: Growth from $3K/mo, Scale from $4K/mo, Enterprise custom — all-inclusive, with no seat fees or conversation caps.
DetailsLangfuse's Stripe case study discloses that it started with an internal billing system based on a simple per-event flat rate, then migrated to Stripe Billing (usage-based), Stripe Checkout, and Stripe Tax for the rails. It keeps the metering in-house: it posts hourly event counts from its own ClickHouse/OLAP data store to Stripe's metered-usage API, handling up to 200M events/month per account — the operational mirror of its "unit = trace + observation + score" price metric. A "Senior Backend Engineer (IAM and Billing)" req (open in the 2026-04-17 ATS snapshot, since closed) staffed that billing platform; growth analytics run on a bought PostHog/BigQuery/dbt/Metabase stack.
DetailsPinecone's original billing system was built in-house but didn't support multi-product billing or complex metering — the team still calculated some invoices manually. When it launched serverless (read units / write units / storage), Pinecone adopted Orb as the system of record for all usage and billing data, enabling add-ons, discounts, custom plans, and version-controlled pricing without engineering bottlenecks. The RU/WU metering layer remains in-house; Orb handles invoicing and plan management.
DetailsAnthropic job posts disclose a homegrown ledger application as the center of its finance systems, with a Finance Systems Engineer req stating the team is "moving beyond configuring off-the-shelf platforms and into building homegrown, production-grade financial applications that no vendor has built for us yet." It still buys the surrounding stack — Salesforce + Salesforce CPQ (CRM/quote-to-cash), Zuora and Stripe (billing/payments), Metronome (usage metering), NetSuite (ASC 606 rev-rec), and Tesorio (AR automation) — and is staffing a dedicated Billing Platform engineering team (~9 open billing-eng roles).
DetailsOpen roles — a dedicated Billing engineer building the usage-metering pipeline (raw events → invoiced amounts in Stripe), a Senior Staff Finance Systems engineer, and ~10 RevOps roles — show Cursor building the meter behind its seat-plus-usage pricing while buying payments.
DetailsIts 'Beyond rate limits' engineering post describes a home-grown engine fusing rate limits, real-time usage tracking, and prepaid credit balances — the spend-control layer most companies buy — alongside a dedicated Financial Engineering hiring push.
DetailsAnthropic launched Claude Fable 5 (GA June 9, 2026) and Claude Mythos 5 (limited availability via Project Glasswing) at $10/$50 per 1M tokens — a new top API band above Opus 4.8, double its $5/$25 rate, with a 1M context window.
DetailsAnthropic added a research-preview Fast mode premium-speed SKU on the Opus tier (Opus 4.8 $10/$50; Opus 4.6/4.7 $30/$150) and Claude Managed Agents, which bills $0.08 per session-hour of runtime as a second meter on top of standard token rates.
DetailsIdeogram's API now lists an Ideogram 4.0 model tier ($0.03 Turbo / $0.06 Default / $0.10 Quality per image, plus 4.0 Custom inference at $0.06–$0.20), alongside new Generate-with-Gemini, Instructional Edit, Topaz Upscale and Layerize endpoints. The consumer subscription ladder (Free/Plus $15/Pro $42/Team $20-seat/Enterprise) is unchanged.
DetailsSalesforce signed a definitive agreement to acquire Fin — the company that renamed from Intercom to Fin in May 2026 — for approximately $3.6 billion. Expected to close in Q4 of Salesforce's FY2027 (~early 2027), subject to regulatory approval. Fin's AI Agent and proprietary Apex support model will complement Salesforce Agentforce; customer-facing pricing is unchanged at announcement (Fin $0.99/resolution; Essential $29 list).
DetailsAdyen announced a definitive agreement on 2026-06-11 to acquire usage-based billing platform Orb for $335M all-cash (reverse triangular merger), closing in early July 2026. Unlike a wind-down, this is a continuity event: Adyen is running an 'incubator' model that preserves Orb's operations and multi-PSP support in the first phase, so Orb's three custom-priced tiers (Core / Advanced / Enterprise, billed on billings + events + platform fee) are unchanged for now. The strategic aim is to link usage-based billing data directly to payment processing.
DetailsLinear launched Coding Sessions (June 11, 2026), its first usage-metered feature — billed from a workspace-level prepaid AI-credit balance shared across AI tools.
DetailsGitLab announced Flex: one annual dollar commitment covering platform seats and GitLab Credits, reshaped month-to-month without contract amendments.
DetailsClose brought its Chloe AI sales agent to general availability, included at no extra SKU on all four CRM tiers and metered instead through per-user AI credits plus telephony usage.
Detailssourcegraph.com/pricing now shows a single Enterprise plan starting at 6K with seat-scaled, org-wide pooled AI credits. The self-serve Cody consumer tiers are gone, and the standalone agentic successor Amp was spun out to ampcode.com with separate billing.
DetailsPhind shut down its AI developer search service on 2026-01-16 (data deleted 2026-01-30, prorated Pro refunds) — roughly six weeks after a ~$10.4M raise (Bessemer + YC, reported 2025-12-03). As of 2026-06-08 phind.com/plans returns a Vercel 404 DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND. Final plan prices are third-party indicative (Free $0; Pro ~$20/mo; Business ~$40/user/mo) because the app rendered prices from a runtime API web archives never captured.
DetailsClipdrop's developer API pricing page (clipdrop.co/apis/pricing) no longer publishes per-call or credit rates. It now renders a Jasper Contact-us form to request additional credits or migrate to Jasper's API services, reflecting Jasper's ownership of the product. Consumer Free and flat-fee Pro tiers remain self-serve on clipdrop.co/pricing.
DetailsOxylabs is discounting Web Unblocker by 40% for six months via coupon code WU40 at checkout, cutting the entry Micro plan from .40/GB (5/mo) to .64/GB (5/mo) and applying across all Regular and Enterprise Web Unblocker tiers.
DetailsScraperAPI acquired Traject Data, bringing dedicated SERP and e-commerce data APIs into its product line and extending the same API-credit metering across structured search-results and marketplace data.
DetailsWellSaid Labs moved its canonical domain and pricing surface from wellsaidlabs.com to wellsaid.io (the old domain 301-redirects). The live plan lineup on /ai-voice-pricing is Trial (free 7-day) / Creative ($50/mo/user annual, $55 monthly) / Business ($160/mo/user) / Enterprise (custom), each with a fixed annual download quota.
DetailsMurf renames its Studio plans to Creator and Business and ships the Murf API and Murf Dub as separate usage-billed products.
DetailsYou.com raises Research Lite to $12 per 1k and ships a dedicated Finance Research API, extending its 2026 API repricing.

DetailsCerebras introduces fixed-price Cerebras Code coding subscriptions alongside a tightened public inference rate card.
DetailsHeyGen moves every plan onto a single credit currency spanning avatars, dubbing and video.
DetailsCharacter.ai removes legacy chat styles for free users and soft-launches them behind its c.ai+ subscription.
DetailsElevenLabs cuts Conversational AI pricing again as it leans further into pay-as-you-go agent usage.
DetailsHeyGen renames its core credit and makes audio dubbing unlimited ahead of the credit-model cutover.
DetailsDocuSign increased list prices across its self-serve eSignature and IAM web plans: eSignature Standard rose to $30/user/mo and Business Pro to $45/user/mo, and IAM Professional to $80/user/mo. Effective date approximate (bracketed to Q2 2026; Wayback was unreachable to pin the exact date).
DetailsMistral renames Le Chat to Vibe, repositioning it as a work-and-code agent, and introduces a $5.99/mo student plan.
DetailsOpenAI ships the GPT-5 family — GPT-5.5 at $5/$30 and GPT-5.4 at $2.50/$15 per 1M tokens — its biggest API reset since GPT-4o.
DetailsWith its Spring 2026 Omni release, Outreach rebranded from outreach.io to outreach.ai and shifted its gated packaging to Amplify Core/Plus/Pro, layering consumption-based AI credits (25k/50k/100k) on top of the per-seat license.
DetailsNetlify removed per-seat charges from its credit-based Pro plan: previously $20 per seat (including active Git contributors), now a flat $20/month for 3,000 credits with unlimited team-member seats. CEO Mathias Biilmann framed the move around AI development that doubled Netlify community in one year past 8 million developers.
DetailsSugarCRM announced its new brand identity as SugarAI on 2026-04-13 (BusinessWire) — its first name change since founding in 2004 — repositioning around AI-driven 'precision selling.' The corporate and pricing domains now redirect to sugarai.com and the pricing page foregrounds predictive/generative AI. Crucially, the rebrand did not change the money: Sugar Sell stays at Standard $59 / Advanced $85 / Premier $135 per user/mo (billed annually, 15-user minimum), and AI (SugarPredict / Sugar Intelligence / sales-i) remains bundled into the Advanced and Premier editions rather than metered as usage or sold as credits. Market, Serve, Enterprise and the sales-i add-on stay contact-sales.
DetailsCisco announced its intent to acquire AI-observability and evals platform Galileo on 2026-04-09 to extend Splunk Observability Cloud; the deal closed 2026-05-22 and galileo.ai now carries a now part of CISCO lockup. Terms undisclosed.
DetailsExa restructures pricing into per-endpoint cards and raises base Search to $7 per 1,000 results.
DetailsGoogle releases the Gemini 3 model family and introduces region-based token pricing.
DetailsWindsurf (now Cognition) replaced its prompt-credit system with a usage allowance that refreshes daily and weekly, raised Pro from $15 to $20/mo, added a $200/mo Max tier, and moved overage to raw model API pricing. Wayback snapshots show credits live on 2026-03-08 and the quota model live by 2026-04-01; the no-rollover change drew a 33% price-hike backlash on Reddit. The surface has since folded into Devin Desktop, with windsurf.com/pricing 308-redirecting to devin.ai/pricing following Cognition's July 2025 acquisition.
DetailsYou.com slashes API prices, dropping Search to $5/1k and Contents to $1/1k, and retitles its pricing page.
DetailsSalesforce hired the Clockwise team into its Agentforce division (announced 2026-03-20), explicitly stating it was not acquiring the product or technology. The AI calendar-optimization product becomes unavailable on 2026-03-27; prepaid subscriptions are refunded prorated and all user data is deleted with no transfer to Salesforce. Clockwise endorses Reclaim.ai (100% price-match guarantee) as the migration path.
DetailsGumloop changed credit overage from a hard cap to unlimited-by-default (Enterprise can set a custom cap) and merged its Solo and Team plans into one seat-free Pro, days around its $50M Series B.
DetailsPerplexity makes its Comet browser free and introduces a $5/mo Comet Plus add-on.
Detailsm3ter announced a strategic partnership with and investment from Salesforce on 2026-03-04 (BusinessWire / m3ter blog, London dateline). Salesforce selected m3ter as an advanced metering and rating partner for Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA), Revenue Cloud Billing (RCB), Agentforce Sales, and CPQ, so Agentforce Revenue Management customers can run high-scale rating, mediation, and usage-pricing models. The investment amount and round were not disclosed. This is NOT an acquisition: m3ter remains an independent company (M3ter Holdings Limited), keeping its own brand, roadmap, and gated four-component pricing.
DetailsModal adds AWS and GCP Marketplace billing so enterprises can pay through existing cloud commitments.
DetailsSuperhuman (the renamed Grammarly) acquired AI-spreadsheet company Rows on 2026-02-22. Unlike a price-preserving acquisition, this is a product sunset: rows.com fully winds down on 2026-05-31 after 9 years and 2.2M users, the team folds into Coda, and the pricing page now routes users to 'Continue with Coda.' Superhuman Terms apply from 2026-06-16.
DetailsBaseten adds discounted cached-input pricing to its multi-tenant Model APIs.
DetailsA Lovable Financial Systems Engineer req discloses a new in-house Financial Engineering team owning 'the billing system of record—from Stripe integration through to the metering ledger' and 'a credit-based usage model, pass-through service billing.' Signal: Lovable keeps Stripe for payments but builds its complexity-weighted credit meter in-house rather than buying a usage-billing platform (no Metronome/Orb/Chargebee named).
DetailsRunPod begins charging different rates for idle versus running network-volume storage.
DetailsNebius agreed to acquire AI-search-API startup Tavily for a reported ~$275M (up to $400M on milestones). Tavily's public credit-based API pricing (Researcher free, $0.008/credit pay-as-you-go, $30/mo Project) was unchanged through the announcement — the deal is a distribution/infra bet, not a repricing. Founder Rotem Weiss joins Nebius.
DetailsCartesia takes Voice Agents to general availability on a flat per-minute rate.

DetailsA Synthesia engineering post details a billing-and-usage-metering system the team built in-house in ~3 months and ran on roughly one engineer while scaling from $40M to ~$140M ARR, including the 2025 move to a unified credit-based model. Stripe is kept strictly as the payment provider behind an isolated data model; Salesforce remains the CRM. The metering layer is built, not bought.

DetailsOn 2025-09-03 Kong Inc. announced its acquisition of OpenMeter (YC W23); co-founders Peter Marton and András Tóth joined Kong. OpenMeter Cloud was rebranded to Kong (Konnect) Metering & Billing and, by early 2026, the openmeter.io/pricing page was reduced to a migration announcement with no plan grid or public prices. The free Apache-2.0 self-hosted edition remains. Sources: konghq.com/blog/news/kong-acquires-openmeter and openmeter.io/blog/openmeter-is-joining-kong (both 2025-09-03).

DetailsWindsurf's ownership split three ways in one week: OpenAI's reported $3B acquisition collapsed on 2025-07-11, Google paid ~$2.4B to hire founders Varun Mohan and Douglas Chen into DeepMind the same day, and on 2025-07-14 Cognition (maker of Devin) acquired the remaining company — product, brand, IP, ~$82M ARR, 350+ enterprise customers and a ~250-person team. Pricing was unchanged short-term; Windsurf has since been folded into Devin Desktop.
DetailsTechCrunch reported that a16z- and Benchmark-backed 11x displayed logos of companies that said they were not customers (ZoomInfo and Airtable both denied being customers; ZoomInfo threatened legal action over the unauthorized logo) and counted full annual contract value as ARR even for customers who exercised a ~90-day break clause — so a stated ~$14M ARR may have reflected only ~$3M of contracts that cleared the trial. An employee cited 70-80% churn of inbound customers; 11x said retention was 79%. Founder-CEO Hasan Sukkar stepped down six weeks later (May 2025); CTO Prabhav Jain became CEO.
DetailsMongoDB acquired embeddings/reranker company Voyage AI for ~$220M. Voyage's standalone per-token API and 200M free-token allowance were preserved post-acquisition; MongoDB Atlas became an additional distribution path rather than a forced migration.

(Keap) on 2024-10-31 for $80M in cash, subject to adjustment (definitive agreement announced 2024-10-29). Keap carried roughly $85M of trailing-twelve-month revenue through June 2024. Keap continues to operate its SMB CRM + marketing-automation platform under its own brand out of Grapevine, TX; the pricing page now footers a Thryv acquisition link and shares Thryv legal terms.
DetailsHubSpot unified its AI features under the Breeze brand and introduced HubSpot Credits, a single consumption pool that meters Breeze Agents and other AI features separately from per-seat subscriptions.
