reduced Amplitude Analytics
Amplitude cut its free Starter plan from 50K to 10K monthly tracked users (MTUs) between the Internet Archive's copies of its pricing page from 2026-01-24 and 2026-02-14. The plan still allowed up to 10M events a month. Source ↗
reduced Brave Search API AI / ML
Brave replaced its free plan's 2,000 queries a month with $5 of free credit a month on each plan. Search costs $5 per 1,000 requests, so the credit covers 1,000 Search requests. The credit requires attributing the Brave Search API on the project's website. Source ↗
