What happened
Between the May 18, 2026 and May 25, 2026 captures of Conduktor's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Passthrough Gateway added as a new free product: a license-restricted Kafka proxy for cross-network reachability without governance or encryption features. Requires a license request; Community plan support description simplified: removed specific P4/3-business-day SLA language. Before: 'Community support: docs & Slack, plus best-effort response within 3 business days on low-priority (P4) issues'. After: 'Best-effort email support, plus docs and Slack'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new plan, feature change) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 15, 2026) lists Console Team Edition at $100.
It lands 6 days after Conduktor's previous change, "Conduktor rebrands Console plan to Team Edition, adds support terms" (May 20, 2026). Conduktor has been tracked since 2026-04-26.
In the same window Aiven and MongoDB also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
