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 2026-11-14. 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.

Announced reduced Retool effective 2027-01-01 medium
Retool Email can be used on Retool's Free plan until January 1, 2027. From that date, Free plan organizations can no longer use Retool Email to send emails from apps, workflows or other automations. Retool Email stays available on the Team, Business and Enterprise plans. Retool's changelog names SendGrid, Gmail, SMTP or an email provider's REST API as other ways to send email from Retool.

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.

model change ToolJet discovered 2026-09-13 · effective date unknown high
A free tier is mentioned with "$0 per builder to start, with no credit card and no trial clock", the page details a much broader set of features and capabilities beyond the simple description of an extensible low-code framework. Unconfirmed. We could not check this change against an archived copy of ToolJet's page, so it does not count toward the rating. Source ↗
restructured Retool effective between 2026-05-21 and 2026-06-17 medium
Retool's Free plan replaced its AI prompting credits, up to 100 a month for each user, with 250 AI credits a month shared by the whole organization, between the Internet Archive's copies of retool.com/pricing of 2026-05-21 and 2026-06-17. The shared credits cover app building and AI Actions; the prompting credits had covered building and editing apps with Assist. The Free plan's 20 hours a month of Agents were already on the page before the change. Source ↗

At-Risk Vendors

All 1 of the 15 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whose date falls in the last 180 days — or a standing condition, also cited, such as a product retired or a free tier withdrawn and not restored, which does not expire with time.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 8 of the 15 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.
