Bird pulls Push and RCS from Pay as you go, moves them to private beta
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 28, 2026 captures of Bird's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Push and RCS moved from general Pay as you go availability to Private beta, with new 'Access is limited during private beta' messaging and a matching FAQ entry restricting immediate use. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Startup at $15, Growth at $250 and Scale at $1,000.
