Biggest Losses (5)

removed Alibaba Cloud Qwen Code AI / ML

restructured Devin AI Coding

Cognition retired Devin's Core and Team plans and introduced Free, Pro, Max, Teams and Enterprise; Core users moved to the Free plan. Usage past a paid plan's allowance is billed in dollars, and only Enterprise still uses ACUs. Source ↗

DeepSeek V3.2 replaces V4 branding. Pricing dropped: chat model $0.30→$0.28/M input, $0.50→$0.42/M output. Reasoner model pricing unified with chat at $0.28/$0.42 (was $0.55/$2.19). Free token welcome package appears removed. Source ↗

model change Netlify Cloud Hosting

Netlify changed its credit rates: bandwidth went from 10 to 20 credits per GB and compute from 5 to 10 credits per GB-hour, while web requests went from 3 to 2 credits per 10,000. The Free plan keeps 300 credits a month, so each credit buys half as much bandwidth and compute. Source ↗

Bright Spots (1)

increased Netlify Cloud Hosting

Form submissions are now free across all Credit plans (including the Credit Free tier) — previously each form submission cost 1 credit. Credit Pro also gained unlimited team seats (was $20/seat per Git contributor), which effectively removes the prior CMS/Identity 'every committer becomes a $19 Pro seat' gotcha for free-tier users who ever upgrade.

Effective date unknown (26)
