CoderPad launches $1,000/month Frontier Lite tier with agentic interviews
What happened
Between the Oct 12, 2026 and Oct 19, 2026 captures of CoderPad's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: New Frontier Lite plan added between Team and Enterprise at $1,000/month (annual, 360 interviews/yr), adding agentic interviews and frontier models on top of Team; AI package tiers introduced: Frontier Lite unlocks agentic interviews (Claude Code, Codex) and frontier models; multi-agent runs, fast mode, custom system prompt and per-interview token limits added. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature added, new plan) with an upward direction. The current page lists Starter at $80, Team at $400 and Frontier Lite at $1,000.
It lands 21 days after CoderPad's previous change, "CoderPad drops "no add-ons, no extra billing" pricing pledge from plans page" (Sep 28, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "CoderPad slashes Team custom questions from 100 to 20" (Sep 21, 2026) and "CoderPad revamps tiers: Custom becomes Enterprise, Team gets 5x question boost" (Sep 14, 2026). CoderPad has been tracked since 2026-05-22.
