Balsamiq shifts from project tiers to per-editor seat pricing
What happened
Between the May 4, 2026 and May 11, 2026 captures of Balsamiq's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Billing metric changed from per-project (with project-count tiers: 1-2, 3-5, 6-10... up to 201-400 projects) to per-editor seat-based pricing. Unlimited editors previously included; now editors are the paid unit. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 29, 2026) lists Starter at $16, Teams at $24 and Enterprise at $35.
It lands 42 days after Balsamiq's previous change, "Balsamiq Bundles AI Credits Into Business and Enterprise Plans" (Apr 1, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Balsamiq Launches AI Wireframing Tools Across Business and Enterprise Plans" (Apr 1, 2026). Balsamiq has been tracked since 2026-02-26.
In the same window Adobe, Figma and Sketch also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
