Airbyte cuts free trial from 30 to 14 days, keeps 400 credits
What happened
Between the Oct 5, 2026 and Oct 12, 2026 captures of Airbyte's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Free trial length shortened from 30 days to 14 days; 400 credits ($2,000 of usage) still included. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 2, 2026) lists Standard at $20 and Plus at $189.
It lands 14 days after Airbyte's previous change, "Airbyte adds Audit Logging to Data Governance comparison table" (Sep 28, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Airbyte launches $189/mo Plus plan, doubles Standard to $20/month" (Sep 21, 2026). Airbyte has been tracked since 2026-07-14.
In the same window Google, Matillion and Talend also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
