Retracted — this record was our error (2026-09-05). The IPinfo Lite plan now has a limit of 50 API requests per month. Retracted 2026-09-05: IPinfo Lite's API request allowance was not cut to 50 per month. The "50 API req / mo" this record quotes is the value in the Web lookups row, not the API request row. ipinfo.io/pricing, fetched 2026-09-05, renders the same row as "Web lookups 500 API req / mo" for Core and "Web lookups 2,500 API req / mo" for Max — the figure scales with plan price and is a browser-lookup quota. API requests are stated in a separate block: "API Requests per Month | Unlimited | 150k - 5M | 250k - 5M | Custom", where Lite reads Unlimited. That is what our stored description already said. The correct value sits inside this record's own current_state, three words after the quoted one: "Web lookups 50 API req / mo Unlimited Country-level only".

restructured Semaphore CI medium impact
Retracted — this record was our error (2026-09-06). The pricing has been restructured. While a free tier with $15 credits (~2,000 Ubuntu x64 2-vCPU minutes) and 20 concurrent jobs still exists, the pricing for compute is now tiered based on CPU and OS (Ubuntu ARM, Ubuntu x64, MacOS) and starts at $0.003/min. Retracted 2026-09-06: the restructure is real and entirely on the paid side. semaphore.io/pricing, fetched 2026-09-06, still states every free figure our stored description carries — "Get $15 free credits per month (≈ 2,000 Ubuntu x64 2-vCPU minutes)", "Includes 20 concurrent jobs by default" and "Self-Hosted $0.0025 /min" — and lists "Ubuntu x64 $0.0075 /min 2vCPU", the cloud rate our description names. What moved is the paid compute table, which now prices by CPU and OS and opens at $0.003/min for Ubuntu ARM, below the rate it replaced. A change that leaves every free figure verbatim does not supersede the free terms.
Before: CI/CD platform — free cloud plan: $15 credits/month (~2,000 Ubuntu build minutes), 20 concurrent jobs, YAML pipelines, secrets management. Self-hosted available at $0.0025/min. Cloud starts at $0.0075/min for Ubuntu
After: Semaphore offers a free tier with $15 credits per month (≈ 2,000 Ubuntu x64 2-vCPU minutes) and 20 concurrent jobs. Ubuntu ARM costs $0.003/min, 2vCPU Ubuntu costs $0.006/min, 4vCPU Ubuntu costs $0.012/min, 8vCPU Ubuntu costs $0.0075/min, 2vCPU Ubuntu costs $0.015/min, 4vCPU Ubuntu costs $0.09/min, and self-hosted costs $0.0025/min.

No longer in force (2026-09-07). The pricing page shows a free trial with limitations (up to 1,000 MAU, up to 20 peak concurrent connections, unlimited messages, 6-month retention) but then immediately directs to Starter or Pro plans. The free trial is described as having 'No overages allowed'. No longer in force as of 2026-09-07: sendbird.com/pricing/chat, the page this record cites, answers "Is the Sendbird Developer plan free forever?" with "Yes, the Developer plan is free and remains active as long as you log into the Sendbird dashboard once a year." The column the page now labels Free trial carries the stored Developer figures — "MAUs Up to 1,000" and "Peak concurrent connections Up to 20" — priced "Free", with "No credit card required" and "All pro features". The page disagrees with itself about the label and agrees with us about the terms, so the label alone is not grounds to withhold them. We hold no evidence either way about the state on 2026-08-28, so this is recorded as no longer in force rather than retracted.
Before: Chat SDK — Developer plan: 1,000 MAU, 20 peak concurrent connections, unlimited messages/month, unlimited storage (6-month retention). All Pro features included (typing indicators, read receipts, push notifications)

EU figures, taken from Hetzner's own old/new table and excluding the €0.50/mo primary IPv4 that hetzner.com's plan cards include in their displayed price. Scope: all dedicated servers and cloud plans at all locations, for new orders and rescales only — existing contracts keep their terms. Excluded: web hosting, managed servers, Server Auction, IPs, storage products, Load Balancers, Volumes, Snapshots and Object Storage. Setup fees on most dedicated servers were cut at the same time. Read on 2026-09-04: every Cost-Optimized plan (CX23-CX53, CAX11-CAX41) is marked "not available" on hetzner.com, so the line that rose least is the line nobody can order.
Before: Post-April 2026 EU prices excluding IPv4: CX23 €3.99/mo, CX33 €6.49, CX43 €11.99, CX53 €22.49, CAX11 €4.49, CPX22 €7.99, CPX62 €50.49, CCX13 €15.99, CCX63 €374.49. Both the shared-vCPU and dedicated-vCPU lines orderable.
After: EU prices excluding IPv4 from 2026-06-15: CX23 €5.49 (+37.6%), CX33 €8.49 (+30.8%), CX43 €15.99 (+33.4%), CX53 €29.49 (+31.1%), CAX11 €5.99 (+33.4%), CPX22 €19.49 (+143.9%), CPX62 €129.99 (+157.5%), CCX13 €42.99 (+168.9%), CCX63 €853.49 (+127.9%). US and Singapore moved by comparable multiples on the plans offered there. Applies to new orders and rescales; servers already running keep their contract terms.

This record cites nothing and xAI does not publish its sign-up credit terms on a page we can read, so it cannot be retracted on evidence; it is withdrawn because the claim it makes is contradicted by our own later record. Our xAI offer, verified 2026-08-14 and re-checked 2026-09-02, reads "Sign-up gives $25 in free API credits". Recorded separately: the URL that offer cites, docs.x.ai/developers/models, contains no occurrence of "free", "credit" or "$25" in its 5,452 characters of visible text, so that claim is also uncited and needs a source of its own.

The Internet Archive's 2026-03-04 capture of clarifai.com/pricing, five weeks before this record, and its 2026-04-17 capture, four days after it, both carry the same Compare Plans ladder: "Community | Get Community | Essential | Get Essential | Professional | Get Professional | Hybrid AI Enterprise | Contact Us | Private AI Enterprise | Contact Us", with "Monthly requests: Limited" and "Requests per second: 1" in the Community column.

Before: 5-tier structure (Free, Pro, Pro+, Business, Ultra)
After: Retracted 2026-09-02. Cursor has no $10/month Hobby tier and there is no evidence it ever had one — Hobby is the name of its free plan.

No longer in force (2026-09-02). GitHub paused new Copilot Pro trials due to abuse. Existing trials continued through their term.

Resolved: Copilot Pro is open to new subscribers, verified 2026-09-02 against GitHub's plans documentation.
Before: Copilot Pro offered a 30-day free trial to any new user

restricted Google Gemini API high impact
No longer in force (2026-09-05). Gemini API free tier restricted to Flash and Flash-Lite models only (April 2026). Gemini 2.5 Pro and other Pro models now require a paid billing account. Previously free users could access Pro models with rate limits. Combined with April 1 spend cap enforcement, this significantly narrows what is available at $0. No longer in force as of 2026-09-05: this record's own source page gives Gemini 2.5 Pro a Free Tier of "Free of charge" for input and for output. The contrast is on the same table - Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview reads "Not available" in the Free Tier column, which is what a paid-only model looks like there. Gemini 3.1 Pro is paid-only; 2.5 Pro is not. We hold no evidence either way about the state on 2026-04-08, so this is recorded as no longer in force rather than retracted.
Before: Free tier included access to both Flash and Pro models with rate limits. Gemini 2.5 Pro accessible to free users at reduced rates
After: Free tier restricted to Flash and Flash-Lite models only. Pro models (Gemini 2.5 Pro) require paid billing account. Free users limited to lighter-weight models

removed Uploadthing high impact
No longer in force (2026-09-06). Free tier eliminated. Uploadthing moved to usage-based pricing with minimum $25/month plan (250 GB storage). No free tier available No longer in force as of 2026-09-06: uploadthing.com/pricing, the page this record cites, opens its plan ladder with "2GB App - Everything you need to start uploading! - $0 /month", listing 2GB of storage shared between all apps, 7 days of audit log retention and unlimited uploads and downloads. The $25/month usage-based plan named here is the third rung of that ladder, above a $10/month 100GB App, not the entry point. We hold no evidence either way about the state on 2025-01-15, so this is recorded as no longer in force rather than retracted.
Before: Free tier: 2 GB storage, 2 GB bandwidth/month
After: Usage-based pricing only. Minimum $25/month plan with 250 GB storage. No free tier
Alternatives: Cloudinary, Vercel Blob, AWS S3
