Chartcastr drops free plan, adds WhatsApp and 10 new integrations
What happened
Between the May 18, 2026 and May 25, 2026 captures of Chartcastr's pricing page, Pulse recorded 3 changes: Free plan card removed from pricing tiers; replaced with minimal forwarding blurb ('Just need a forwarder?'). Previously showed $0 price, feature list, and CTA. Free tier AI features (summaries, chat, follow-ups) now show '—' in comparison table; Free tier active connections increased from 2 to 3 in comparison table. Metric label also updated from 'Active Slack channel connections' to 'Active connections', reflecting broader connection scope; WhatsApp added as a destination in comparison table. Microsoft Teams destination upgraded from 'Coming Soon' to available. 10 new source integrations added (Amplitude, Grafana, Microsoft Clarity, Luma, Umami, Typefully, OpenPageRank, BigQuery, AskNicely, Savio); feature count grew from 72 to 82. Pulse files it as a packaging change (freemium change, limit increase, feature added) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 29, 2026) lists Starter at $40 and Pro at $300.
It lands 21 days after Chartcastr's previous change, "Chartcastr removes annual savings label from pricing toggle" (May 4, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Chartcastr Adds Harvest Integration for Starter Plans and Above" (Apr 20, 2026), "Chartcastr Adds Klaviyo Integration as Its 71st Data Source" (Apr 13, 2026) and "Chartcastr Launches 9 New Integrations Including HubSpot and Linear" (Apr 17, 2026). Chartcastr has been tracked since 2026-03-03.
