Katalon splits Studio Enterprise into standalone $229/seat plan
What happened
Between the Jul 13, 2026 and Jul 20, 2026 captures of Katalon's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Katalon Studio Enterprise moved from an add-on to a standalone plan card ($229/seat/month) with its own comparison column; the discount banner moved to the hero and True Automation got a 'Most value' badge. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Professional at $84, Katalon Runtime Engine at $145, Cross Browser at $158 and Mobile Devices at $158.
It lands 15 days after Katalon's previous change, "Katalon ditches monthly seats for annual tiers, adds AI MCP server integration" (Jul 6, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Katalon: New $2,000→$1,000/seat/year limited annual offer" (Jul 3, 2026) and "Katalon bundles Studio + QA agents from $67/seat, locked 12 months" (May 18, 2026). Katalon has been tracked since 2026-04-15.
In the same window Cypress.io, SmartBear, Lambdatest and BrowserStack also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
