Guusto cuts self-serve trial: Lite plan now gated behind Talk to Sales
What happened
Between the Sep 21, 2026 and Sep 28, 2026 captures of Guusto's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Lite plan ($125/mo, 'Crawl' tier) lost its self-serve 'Start 30 Day Trial' signup; the CTA now reads 'Talk to Sales' and links to a demo request instead of instant trial signup. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Premium at $1, Essential at $4 and Lite at $125.
