Pricing changelog

A dated log of pricing, plan, ownership, and feature changes across the 14 vendors covered here. Updated on detection, not on a fixed cadence. This page replaces the static "verified June 2026" stamp that sister cost-comparison sites rely on.

DateVendorTypeSummary
2026-09-22Airbyteprice

Correction. Airbyte publishes no free plan and no Agent Operations unit: Standard from $20/mo with extra credits at $5, Plus from $189/mo for 40 credits, Pro and Enterprise Flex capacity-based. The 2026-05-15 row below is withdrawn as unsupported by the rate card.↗

2026-09-22Prefectprice

Correction. No Pro tier and no $450/mo rate exists. Hobby free, Starter $100/mo, Team $100/user/mo billed annually, Enterprise quoted. The meter is seats and deployments, not task-runs.↗

How this is maintained

Vendor pricing pages, blog posts, and press releases are monitored monthly. When a change is detected, a new row is added with the source URL. Ownership and acquisition events are added on announcement, not on close (and the row is updated at close). Past entries are not edited; corrections are added as new dated rows.
