Expo adds Expo Simulators (limited beta) with 60 included min/month on paid plans
What happened
Between the Oct 19, 2026 and Oct 26, 2026 captures of Expo's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New Expo Simulators section (limited beta, waitlist): cloud iOS/Android simulators; usage-based pricing with 60 min/month included until 2027; 115-min sessions, 30-day artifacts, $50/extra concurrencies. Pulse files it as a product change (feature added) with an upward direction. The current page lists Starter at $19 and Production at $199.
It lands 7 days after Expo's previous change, "Expo quintuples free build concurrency to 5, lifts Enterprise cap to 20" (Oct 19, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Expo raises Hosting subrequest limit 10x to 10,000 on all paid plans" (Sep 28, 2026) and "Expo: Hosting Aliases limit cut to 200 (was Unlimited)" (Aug 10, 2026). Expo has been tracked since 2026-06-19.
In the same window Brightspot, Tyk, Sketchup, ON1 and Mobbin also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
