Cypress.io swaps hourly AI pricing for fixed monthly prompt allotments
What happened
Between the Jun 29, 2026 and Jul 6, 2026 captures of Cypress.io's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Restructured AI prompt-execution metric from per-user-hourly rate to fixed allotments (100/mo Free; 9k/24k/60k per year Team/Business/Enterprise); added comparison-table row and FAQ. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Team at $67, Business at $267 and Enterprise at $4 per 1,000 bundled test results.
It lands 3 days after Cypress.io's previous change, "Cypress.io: Enterprise plan discloses 1.8M test results/year (was Custom)" (Jul 2, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Cypress.io rebrands Enterprise plan's Roadmap Portal to Enterprise Roadmap" (May 25, 2026) and "Cypress.io sets Enterprise test results cap at 1.8M per year" (May 18, 2026). Cypress.io has been tracked since 2026-02-20.
In the same window Katalon and Nightwatch also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
