CoderPad drops "no add-ons, no extra billing" pricing pledge from plans page
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 28, 2026 captures of CoderPad's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: The pricing-model reassurance line 'No add-ons. No extra billing. Every seat, every interview — AI-era from day one.' was removed from directly beneath the plan cards. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Starter at $80, Team at $400 and Frontier Lite at $1,000.
It lands 7 days after CoderPad's previous change, "CoderPad slashes Team custom questions from 100 to 20" (Sep 21, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "CoderPad revamps tiers: Custom becomes Enterprise, Team gets 5x question boost" (Sep 14, 2026). CoderPad has been tracked since 2026-05-22.
In the same window Replit and HackerRank also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
