Filebase pivots from IPFS pinning to object storage pricing model
What happened
Between the May 18, 2026 and May 25, 2026 captures of Filebase's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pricing model shifted from IPFS-pinning focus (pinned files, IPNS names, gateways, bandwidth) to object storage focus (pooled storage, free object egress, Class A/B operation pricing). Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 28, 2026) lists Pro at $7.5.
Filebase's previous recorded change was "Filebase Launches TypeScript SDK Across All Paid Plans" (Week 11, 2026). Filebase has been tracked since 2026-02-27.
In the same window fileAI 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.
