Alchemy Drops Emergency Button, Renames Support Roles Across Tiers
What happened
Between the Apr 20, 2026 and Apr 27, 2026 captures of Alchemy's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Premium Support table updated: 'Emergency button' feature removed; 'Dedicated solution engineer' renamed to 'Named solution engineer' across Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 14, 2026) lists Pay as You Go at $0.45 per million compute units.
It lands 24 days after Alchemy's previous change, "Alchemy Drops Pay-As-You-Go Minimum, Adds Tiered Premium Support Plans" (Apr 2, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Alchemy Caps Enterprise at 200 Apps, Launches Tiered Support" (Apr 1, 2026) and "Alchemy caps Enterprise webhooks at 500, ends unlimited access" (Mar 2, 2026). Alchemy has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
In the same window QuickNode also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
