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.
Firebase keeps running. Firebase Test Lab can be used until September 30, 2027. After that date, no tests can run. Google's replacement is the Developer Device Platform on Google Cloud. The Developer Device Platform requires billing. The no-cost Spark plan includes 10 virtual-device tests a day and 5 physical-device tests a day. 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.
Postman's Free plan no longer includes cloud performance testing. Its pricing table gave Free "Performance testing (unlimited runs)" on the Internet Archive's capture of 2026-08-20, cloud runs at $0.04 per virtual-user hour on 2026-09-09, and marks cloud performance testing unavailable on Free from the capture of 2026-09-18; local performance testing stays unlimited. In the same window the table stopped calling Free's mock servers unlimited, and it states no limit for them. Source ↗

We could not check this change against an archived copy of lost-pixel.com's page, so it does not count toward the rating.Source ↗

Free Community Edition removed, paid from $167/seat/month. 30-day trial available We hold no source for this record, so it does not set Katalon's rating.
On 2026-03-23 LocalStack ended support for its Community edition. From that date its latest image needed an account and an auth token, and its free plan, Hobby, was for non-commercial use. Commercial use needs a paid plan. Source ↗

With Docker's new subscription plans on 2024-12-10, Testcontainers Cloud's standalone Free plan (300 cloud runtime minutes a month) ended and the service became part of Docker subscriptions: Pro includes 100 minutes a month, Team 500 and Business 1,500. Docker had acquired AtomicJar, Testcontainers' maker, in December 2023. Source ↗

At-Risk Vendors
All 5 of the 45 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.
All 17 of the 45 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.
