SAAS PRICE WATCHThe price-hike registry
SaaS pricing has a memory problem: vendors raise prices, cut free tiers and retire plans — and the old numbers quietly vanish from the internet. We write them down. Every entry below is documented in our hand-researched dossiers, with the evidence shown. And since July 2026 we archive a monthly snapshot of all 406 pricing pages we track, then compare each month against the one before — so a change surfaces even when the vendor announces nothing.
Watch: the registry in 90 seconds
Caught by our own captures: July 2026 → August 2026
We archive each pricing page we cover once a month, then compare the new capture against the last. This round covers the 237 tools we captured in both July 2026 and August 2026. Comparing the price lines themselves flagged 24 candidates; these 9 survived a human reading of the raw text. The rest were currency selectors, incomplete captures, annual rates disclosed for the first time, or amounts that were never prices — one page was announcing a funding round. Below, the lines are ours, exactly as we captured them. Separately, the automated movement log records every page whose text moved at all, price or not.
BuddyPunchPRICE INCREASEJuly 2026 → August 2026Every per-user rate went up while the $19 monthly base fee stayed put, so the increase lands hardest on small teams — a five-person crew on the middle tier pays $5 a month more for the same product.

CallHippoFEES UPJuly 2026 → August 2026The plan prices held, but the two charges that sit outside them both rose: the one-time setup fee by a third, and the per-minute rate you pay past your bundle by more than half. Neither shows up in a tier comparison.

LeadfeederPRICE INCREASEJuly 2026 → August 2026Both published tiers moved up, and unevenly: the entry plan rose 14% while the larger one rose 6%, so the gap between them narrowed.

LettrLabsRATE CARD UPJuly 2026 → August 2026Not one plan but the whole rate card: every per-piece price on the page moved up by two to six cents. On a mailing of ten thousand pieces that is a few hundred dollars nobody announced.

SellfyENTRY PRICE UPJuly 2026 → August 2026The entry price rose 32%, and the page title changed with it — which is how you can tell it was deliberate rather than a promotion lapsing.

WeavePRICE CUTJuly 2026 → August 2026A cut, which is rare enough to be worth recording: the advertised starting price dropped by $50 a month. What you actually pay is still quoted per location, so treat this as the opening number rather than the bill.

CalilioPLAN RESTRUCTUREJuly 2026 → August 2026The page was rebuilt around annual billing. The $15 headline survived, the old $4.50 line did not, and the tiers are now quoted as yearly totals — which makes the monthly comparison you did in July no longer possible on the same page.

Vida AIRATES WITHDRAWNJuly 2026 → August 2026In July the page published a full rate card — per agent, per minute, per message, per token. In August all of it was gone, replaced by an invitation to design a pilot. The product did not necessarily get dearer; it got harder to price without talking to sales.

UENIPLAN RESTRUCTUREJuly 2026 → August 2026In July the page sold one subscription: $79 to launch, then $24.99 a month. In August it sells a ladder of four, with yearly and two-year prepay rates beside each. The entry price did not move, but what you are choosing between did — and the marketing service that used to be an optional add-on is now the top tier.

Documented changes
KitPRICE HIKE2025Raised prices roughly 35% across paid tiers. The free tier is still best-in-class; the paid tiers now deserve comparison shopping.
From the dossier: “And the 35% price hike in 2025 changed the value math: the free tier is still arguably the best in creator email, but paid tiers now deserve comparison shopping rather than default loyalty.”
ManyChatFREE TIER CUT2026The free tier was cut to just 25 contacts in March 2026 — from genuinely usable to a demo.
From the dossier: “The free tier is now 25 active contacts after the March-2026 change, with two channels and one user.”
StreakFREE TIER GONE + REPRICED2025–26The free tier disappeared and per-seat prices moved up to real-CRM levels — the 'lightweight Gmail add-on' era is over.
From the dossier: “And note the trajectory: the free tier is gone and per-seat prices sit at real-CRM levels now, so the 'lightweight Gmail add-on' framing no longer matches the invoice.”
MomenceFULL RESTRUCTURE2025Replaced its plans with a free-plus-commission model: $0 with a 5% fee per transaction, or flat tiers that beat it past ~$30k/yr volume.
From the dossier: “Those come from their published pricing after the 2025 restructure.”
Structural intro-to-renewal jumps
Not one-off hikes but standing practice: the price you sign at is not the price you renew at.
HostingerINTRO → RENEWAL JUMPThe headline price holds only if you prepay years up front — renewals are the number-one complaint.
From the dossier: “The headline price only holds if you prepay years up front — renewals run several times the intro rate, the number-one complaint.”
ChemiCloudINTRO → RENEWAL JUMPThose plans renew at $11.95, $17.95 and $21.95 a month. The renewal figures held steady across our July and August captures while the advertised intro price dropped — the renewal is the number to judge it on.
From the dossier: “The honest catch is the one every budget host shares: the headline price is an introductory rate, and renewals land roughly three times higher, so judge it on the renewal cost, not the sign-up teaser.”
UltaHostINTRO → RENEWAL JUMPOur sources disagree, which is itself the finding: our capture records plans renewing at $4.39 and $6.89 a month, while the plan cards state they renew at the same rate for another two years. Read the renewal line on the card you actually buy.
From the dossier: “Each plan card now states it renews at the same rate for another 2 years, so the usual trap of a cheap first term followed by a dear one is at least written down.”
NordVPNINTRO → RENEWAL JUMPThe classic VPN pattern: Basic goes from about €3.49 a month to roughly €11.59 on renewal — about a threefold step.
From the dossier: “Read the renewal line before you buy: those same plans renew at €139.08, €219.48 and €338.28 a year, so Basic goes from about €3.49 a month to about €11.59 — roughly a threefold step.”
How we track
Monthly snapshots, public receipts. Since July 2026 we capture the pricing page of every tool we cover (406 and counting) each month, and store the price lines exactly as they appeared. Each month we compare the new capture against the last.
A machine finds it, a person publishes it. The comparison produces candidates, not entries. Amounts moving on a page is not proof that a price moved: a currency selector, a page that failed to load, an annual rate shown for the first time and a funding announcement all look identical to a script. So somebody reads the raw lines from both months before anything lands here, and writes down what the change actually was. In the July 2026→August 2026 round that took 24 candidates down to 9. Methodology: how we review · the full corpus: the Atlas · raw data: the open dataset, or take this month straight from aibm-pricewatch.csv — every row above plus the unchanged ones, CC BY 4.0.
