Braintrust: token overage rates hidden across all plans
What happened
Between the Jul 27, 2026 and Aug 3, 2026 captures of Braintrust's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Starter, Pro, and Enterprise rows no longer show exact token overage pricing ($0.06/mtok input, $0.40/mtok output) — replaced with a generic 'then token rates' link to docs. In detail: Exact per-token overage rates ($0.06/mtok input, $0.40/mtok output) removed from the Starter, Pro, and Enterprise rows; replaced with a 'then token rates' link to docs with no numbers shown. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price hidden) with a downward direction. The current page lists Pro at $249.
It lands 7 days after Braintrust's previous change, "Braintrust discloses Enterprise Topics token overage rates" (Jul 27, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Braintrust ends flat 30-day data cap, adds paid retention extension at $0.50/" (Jul 20, 2026), "Braintrust offers startups 6-12 months free on Pro plan" (Jul 6, 2026) and "Braintrust: introduced token-metered Topics AI pricing ($10→$249 credits)" (Jul 2, 2026). Braintrust has been tracked since 2024-11-17.
In the same window Kontentino and Upwork also changed their Business Operations pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
