Announced, not yet in effect

What this section prints is decided by the calendar, not by anything the vendor did. One record here carries a date after 2026-09-30. The vendor has announced it and it has not taken effect, so it is not part of the history below. On its own date a record here joins the Pricing Change Timeline, below.

AWS Proton reaches end of support on 2026-10-07, when its console and resources stop being accessible. AWS: "Your deployed CloudFormation stacks and the resources they manage will remain intact and continue to function." New customers could not sign up after 2025-10-07. Source ↗

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.

reduced Pulumi discovered 2026-09-26 · effective date unknown medium
Pulumi dropped Pulumi Neo's 5M free tokens a month from its free plan, which it renamed from Individual to Free, between the Internet Archive's capture of its pricing page on 2026-09-13 and our reading of 2026-09-26.

At-Risk Vendors

All 1 of the 14 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a source we cite, whose date falls in the last 180 days — or a standing condition, also cited, such as a free tier withdrawn or a product retired, which does not expire with time.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 4 of the 14 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.
