Gitpod Drops Free AI Branding, Trims Dev Config From Free Tier
What happened
Between the Mar 2, 2026 and Mar 9, 2026 captures of Gitpod's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Free plan AI feature renamed: 'Ona Intelligence powered by Claude Opus 4.6' replaced by 'Access to Ona's Cloud Agents'. Also removed from compare table. 'devcontainer.json and automations.yml support' also removed from Free plan. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 29, 2026) lists Core at $20 and OCU Add-on at $10.
Gitpod's previous recorded change was "Gitpod caps automations: 50 for Core, unlimited for Enterprise" (Feb 23, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Gitpod upgrades Ona Intelligence AI to Claude Opus 4.6" (Feb 16, 2026), "Gitpod Upgrades Ona Intelligence AI to Claude Opus 4.6 Across All Plans" (Week 7, 2026) and "Gitpod Upgrades Free Plan AI Agent to Ona Intelligence Powered by Claude Sonnet 4.5" (Jan 10, 2026). Gitpod has been tracked since 2023-11-14.
