($10-$39 credits/mo) — Track per-seat credit burn from June 1, 2026, and budget for the promotional credit boost on Business/Enterprise expiring after August 2026.</description><pubDate>Mon, 27 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>GitHub</category><category>Restructure</category></item><item><title>Vercel cut Turbo build machine pricing 16% and unified every tier to one per-CPU rate.</title><link>https://costmon.com/price-changes#vercel-turbo-build-machines-price-cut-2026</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://costmon.com/price-changes#vercel-turbo-build-machines-price-cut-2026</guid><description>All build machine tiers now bill at a flat $0.0035 per CPU per minute, dropping the 30-CPU Turbo machine from $0.126 to $0.105 a minute. (−16% ($0.126→$0.105/min)) — Confirm the lower rate applied on your next invoice, and re-check whether Turbo is still worth it over Standard or Enhanced now that the price gap has narrowed.</description><pubDate>Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Vercel</category><category>Cut</category></item><item><title>Snowflake moved Snowpipe to one flat per-GB rate, cutting ingestion cost for some teams over 50%.</title><link>https://costmon.com/price-changes#snowflake-snowpipe-unified-pricing-2025</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://costmon.com/price-changes#snowflake-snowpipe-unified-pricing-2025</guid><description>Snowpipe pricing, previously based on compute consumed and file count, moved to a single 0.0037-credits-per-GB rate across file ingestion and streaming. (flat 0.0037 credits/GB) — Check ingestion cost after the automatic switchover, and stop over-batching files purely to dodge per-file charges. Billing is now per-GB regardless of file count.</description><pubDate>Mon, 08 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Snowflake</category><category>Cut</category></item><item><title>Vercel switched Functions billing to active CPU time instead of full wall-clock duration.</title><link>https://costmon.com/price-changes#vercel-active-cpu-pricing-2025</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://costmon.com/price-changes#vercel-active-cpu-pricing-2025</guid><description>A Standard-size function running at 100% active CPU now costs about $0.149 an hour instead of $0.318, because idle time waiting on a database call or an LLM response no longer bills as CPU time. (−53% ($0.318→$0.149/hr)) — Re-run cost estimates for Functions-heavy AI workloads under the new model rather than assuming automatic savings, and confirm your plan has switched over.</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>Vercel</category><category>Cut</category></item><item><title>MongoDB merged its Shared and Serverless tiers into one Flex tier with a capped bill.</title><link>https://costmon.com/price-changes#mongodb-atlas-flex-tier-2025</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://costmon.com/price-changes#mongodb-atlas-flex-tier-2025</guid><description>Atlas Flex bills an $8 base fee plus usage up to 500 ops/sec, capped at $30 a month. It replaces both the old Shared clusters and standalone Serverless instances. ($8 base, capped $30/mo) — Plan the migration off Shared or Serverless ahead of MongoDB&apos;s cutover, and model your peak burst usage against the $30 cap before assuming it still fits.</description><pubDate>Thu, 06 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>MongoDB Atlas</category><category>Restructure</category></item><item><title>GitHub made Copilot free in VS Code, capped at 2,000 completions a month.</title><link>https://costmon.com/price-changes#github-copilot-free-tier-2024</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://costmon.com/price-changes#github-copilot-free-tier-2024</guid><description>Any GitHub account gets capped code completions and chat in VS Code: 2,000 completions and 50 chat messages a month, with no trial or subscription required. (2,000 completions free/mo) — Point casual or evaluation users at the free tier instead of provisioning a paid seat, and watch for contributors who lean on it in place of a managed seat.</description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><category>GitHub</category><category>Free tier</category></item></channel></rss>
