Plain: Horizon price hike $269→$299/mo + AI credits overhaul + Sidekick assistant now in base plan
Horizon plan increased from $269/mo to $299/mo (additional seat $89→$99/mo). AI usage billing switched from a resolutions model (50/250/Custom, $100 per additional 100) to a credits model (2,000/15,000/Custom per mo); overage pricing is no longer shown as an explicit rate. Sidekick AI assistant moved from Frontier-exclusive to included at the base Foundation tier; Discord channel access moved from Horizon (bundled with Microsoft Teams) to Frontier-exclusive.
What changed
AI usage billing metric changed from a 'resolutions' count model (Foundation 50, Horizon 250, Frontier custom; $100 per additional 100 resolutions) to a 'credits' model (Foundation 2,000/mo, Horizon 15,000/mo, Frontier custom credits). Overage pricing is no longer shown as an explicit rate - the comparison table now just says 'Credits apply' instead of '$100/100'.
Sidekick AI assistant moved from Frontier-exclusive to included at the base Foundation tier (and thus all tiers). Discord channel access moved the opposite direction - previously bundled with Microsoft Teams at the Horizon tier, now Frontier-exclusive only.
Horizon plan price increased from $269/month to $299/month; additional-seat price increased from $89/month to $99/month.
