Top 5 moves

    Intercom's $19 Essential seat is $29 again, five days after the cut

    $19 per seat/month$29 per seat/month

    A promo badge came off and the list price snapped back within the same week, which reads as a test rather than a repricing. Advanced at $85 and Expert at $132 did not move.

  2. 02HikeMindsDB

    MindsDB raises DeepSeek V4.1 Flash rates and ends its $5,000 credit match

    $0.22 / $0.66 per 1M tokens in/out$0.30 / $1.20 per 1M tokens in/out

    Output nearly doubled, and the 100% MindsHub Foundry match that funded new teams is gone, so the cost of trying the platform rose on both ends at once.

  3. 03Quiet cutn8n

    n8n cuts Assistant credits about 30% on Starter and Pro at unchanged prices

    2,300 credits a month (Starter)1,600 credits a month (Starter)

    The rename to Assistant credits hides a smaller allowance on both self-serve tiers, with Pro falling from up to 13,700 to 9,600, while concurrent executions rose from 20 to 50.

  4. 04Hikefal

    fal raises every GPU tier a second time, H100 to $2.49 an hour

    $1.89/hr (H100)$2.49/hr (H100)

    B200 went from $3.49 to $5.49 and H200 from $2.10 to $2.99, a 32% to 81% spread rather than the 'up to 33%' a single-tier label suggests; a GB200 tier debuted at $5.89.

  5. 05RevealSlack

    Slack puts a $45 price on Enterprise+, ending "Contact sales"

    Contact sales for pricing$45 per user/month, billed annually

    The top tier gets a list price for the first time since tracking began, a figure buyers can benchmark against Teams and Zoom without talking to a rep.

The pattern

The week ran hot: 279 changes across 267 companies against an eight-week average of 210, the second week above the norm in a row after 277 the week before. Price increases held near their usual level at 18 versus a 15.8 average, but cuts ran at 13 against 6.8, promos at 38 against 19.6, and price reveals at 15 against 6.8, so the surplus was companies showing more rather than charging more. Packaging-led changes, 111 of the 279, again outnumbered pricing-led ones at 90, with credit renames and allowance resets doing the work that list-price moves used to.

What to watch

  • Whether Intercom's $29 Essential seat holds through October or the $19 badge returns; two reversals in one week look like a live test.

  • MindsDB and fal both raised inference or GPU rates for the second time in recent weeks; a third move would make it a trend rather than a correction.

  • Credit renames that shrink allowances, n8n and Synthesia this week, are the quiet way to raise prices; expect more as vendors rebrand AI credits.
