What happened

Between the Sep 28, 2026 and Oct 5, 2026 captures of Astronomer's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Astronomer added Astro Observe, a new pricing component for pipeline observability (lineage, data freshness, SLAs) billed as a percentage of deployment and worker compute costs. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new add-on) with an upward direction. The current page lists Developer at $0.35 subscription and Team at $0.42 subscription.

It lands 167 days after Astronomer's previous change, "Astronomer drops pay-as-you-go option on Azure Marketplace" (Apr 20, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Astronomer: adds AI-powered DAG authoring, Snowflake Marketplace, and enterprise resilience options" (Apr 4, 2026), "Astronomer adds Cross-region Disaster Recovery add-on for Enterprise" (Mar 16, 2026) and "Astronomer adds AI authoring, beefs up observability & enterprise tools" (Feb 23, 2026). Astronomer has been tracked since 2023-11-14.

In the same window Prefect, Datadog and Dagster Labs also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
