Convex adds AI Gateway pricing, matching OpenRouter rates
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 28, 2026 captures of Convex's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New 'AI Gateway' row added to the Resource Pricing table, priced 'Same as OpenRouter' (Starter plan pay-as-you-go pricing; also shown for Professional). New product also added to nav and footer links. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new add-on) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Professional at $25, Business & Enterprise at $2,500 and Free & Starter at $0.22 Database I/O (per additional GB) + $0.55 Search storage (per additional GB).
It lands 7 days after Convex's previous change, "Convex swaps Enterprise-only permissions for RBAC in every plan" (Sep 21, 2026). Convex has been tracked since 2026-05-15.
In the same window PDQ, Kinsta, Hostinger, Hashicorp and Couchbase also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
