Pricing Change Timeline

Every record we hold is listed here, newest first. A record is never removed from this list, so a vendor named here stays named here whatever its verdict does afterwards.

removed Phase Two effective 2026-07-30 high
Phase Two shut down its free shared realms on 2026-07-30, 30 days after announcing it on 2026-06-30. Its cheapest plan is now the Starter cluster at $149 a month, with a 30-day free trial. Source ↗
reduced Permit.io effective 2026-06-09 low
Permit.io's pricing page added a limit of 2,000 relationship tuples to its free Community plan. The row first appears between the Internet Archive's captures of 2026-05-23 and 2026-06-09; the plan's other limits were unchanged. Source ↗
increased Auth0 effective 2025-11-01 high
Auth0 increased free tier from 7,500 to 25,000 monthly active users. Largest free tier expansion since Okta acquisition. Makes Auth0 competitive with Clerk and Firebase Auth on free tier Source ↗
reduced Logto effective 2025-10-01 high
Logto removed role-based access control from the Free plan and cut its included tokens from 100K to 50K, effective 2025-10-01. Its announcement: "Both the token quota change and RBAC removal from Free plan will take effect on October 1." Source ↗
reduced Phase Two effective 2025-09-16 high
Phase Two replaced its free shared-cluster Starter tier (fewer than 1,000 users and 10 SSO connections) with a $0 Starter tier capped at 100 users and no SSO connections. SSO started at the $749-a-month Premium tier. Source ↗

At-Risk Vendors

All 2 of the 30 vendors we list in this category that carry one. A vendor is named here for as long as a demotion is in force against it: a one-off pricing event, recorded against a source we cite, whose date falls in the last 180 days — or a standing condition, also cited, such as a free tier withdrawn or a product retired, which does not expire with time. A demotion can lift with nothing about the vendor having changed, and that happens on the day the vendor's newest qualifying event passes 180 days.

Stable Picks

All 17 of the 30 vendors we list in this category that qualify, not a selection of them. A vendor is named here for as long as no demotion is in force against it and we hold no change record for it dated in the last 90 days — any record, including ones the timeline above does not count. A vendor can join this section on a day we recorded nothing about it, when the later of those two clocks runs out: 90 days after its newest record, or the day the demotion against it lapses. It leaves on the day we file a new record, or the day we can no longer vouch for the terms we list.
