ImageEngine Free Trial 2026 free tier removed

How it ended: effective 2026-04-09 — ImageEngine withdrew its free Developer Program (10 GB of monthly traffic, one image origin) between captures of 2026-02-17 and 2026-04-09, when it replaced its SaaS plans with self-hosted ImageEngine Kube.

A verdict here is not a fixed property of the vendor. A one-off pricing event demotes a vendor while its recorded date falls in the last 180 days and then lapses on its own, with nothing about the vendor having changed; a standing condition — a free tier withdrawn and not restored, a product retired — does not lapse with time. This one rests on a standing condition, so it does not lapse.
