What happened

Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Apr 6, 2026 captures of Digitalocean's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New Security section added to pricing page with Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) starting at $0/month, featuring agentless design, prioritized findings, guided remediation, and unified visibility. Pulse files it as a packaging change (new plan) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 28, 2026) lists Droplets at $4, Spaces Object Storage at $5, Volumes Block Storage at $10, Cloudways Managed Hosting at $11 and Kubernetes at $12.

It lands 6 days after Digitalocean's previous change, "DigitalOcean: committed GPU Droplet price raised to $1.88/GPU/hour" (Apr 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Digitalocean slashes Network File Storage prices 50% with new tiered plans" (Mar 23, 2026), "Digitalocean GPU Droplets jump 26% to $1.88/hr on multi-month contracts" (Mar 3, 2026) and "Digitalocean sets $0.01 floor on per-second Droplet billing" (Feb 18, 2026). Digitalocean has been tracked since 2024-10-01.

In the same window Aws, Vultr and Google Cloud also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
