Price Changes / Ledger / 2026
Who raised prices (2026)
A dated ledger of every price change our radar has on record. 5 tracked so far, each with the date it changed and a link to its source. We record the move; we do not predict the next one.
§01
The ledger
| When | Tool | The change | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 12, 2026 | Grain AI Meeting Notes & Scheduling | Lowest listed monthly plan on the vendor pricing page is $19/mo, up from our recorded $15/mo (+27%). | grain.com |
| Jul 9, 2026 | Kraken Crypto Exchanges | Kraken replaced per-product fee tiers with unified cross-platform tiers effective July 9, 2026. Level 1 spot fees are 0.40% maker / 0.80% taker, above the prior Kraken Pro base tier of 0.25% / 0.40%, so the lowest-volume trader segment pays more unless volume or assets on platform qualify them for a higher tier. | Kraken Support: Cross-platform fee tier changes (July 2026) |
| Jun 1, 2026 | Runway AI Video Generation | Runway rolled out the Max plan (9,500 credits/month, one-month credit rollover, no Explore Mode) and began phasing out the Unlimited plan, which offered 2,250 credits plus unlimited relaxed-rate generations via Explore Mode. New subscribers are no longer offered Unlimited, and inviting new members to Unlimited accounts ended June 1, 2026. | Runway Help Center |
| May 19, 2026 | Zendesk AI Customer Support | At Relate 2026 Zendesk announced expanded outcome-based pricing: autonomous AI agents billed per resolution, with each billed resolution handled by the agent end-to-end and independently verified by a dedicated AI evaluation model, and overages billed automatically beyond allowances. | Zendesk Newsroom |
| Sep 1, 2025 | Descript AI Video Generation | Descript moved legacy subscribers onto a new media-minute model and introduced metered, purchasable AI-credit and media-minute top-ups for features previously marketed as unlimited. | Descript Help Center |
Each row is a dated, sourced fact from our pricing sensor or an editor. This ledger lists price moves only; a tool changing price is not a death and never sets a "dead" status.
