Braintrust ends flat 30-day data cap, adds paid retention extension at $0.50/...
What happened
Between the Jul 13, 2026 and Jul 20, 2026 captures of Braintrust's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pro plan's default 30-day data retention can now be extended for a fee ($0.50/GB/month), whereas before it was a flat 30-day cap with no paid extension option. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new add-on) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 3, 2026) lists Pro at $249.
It lands 14 days after Braintrust's previous change, "Braintrust offers startups 6-12 months free on Pro plan" (Jul 6, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Braintrust: introduced token-metered Topics AI pricing ($10→$249 credits)" (Jul 2, 2026) and "Braintrust adds Topics to comparison table with credit-based pricing" (Jun 8, 2026).
