KaneAI absorbs Kane CLI plans: Free tier dropped, $179 Max tier added, credits go per-agent

Between the Aug 10, 2026 and Aug 17, 2026 captures of Lambdatest's pricing page, Pulse recorded 6 changes: Pro plan base credits increased from 10,000/month to 12,000/month/agent; Enterprise credits changed from an unspecified capped team allotment to explicit Unlimited credits; Free plan removed — the $0 'Free Forever' tier with 200 credits per month is gone; the lineup now starts at the paid Starter tier; New 'KaneAI Max' plan added at $179/agent/month billed annually ($199 monthly) with 25,000 cre. In detail: Annual billing discount introduced — a new Monthly/Annual toggle advertises 'Save upto 20%', and card prices now default to annual rates ($17/$89/$179 per agent/month vs $19/$99/$199 monthly); New 'KaneAI Max' plan added at $179/agent/month billed annually ($199 monthly) with 25,000 credits per agent and Cloud KaneAI Web + Mobile authoring; 'Kane CLI Starter' and 'Kane CLI Pro' renamed to 'KaneAI Starter' and 'KaneAI Pro' as the tiers moved from standalone Kane CLI credit plans to KaneAI per-agent plans; Billing unit changed from account-level Kane CLI credit plans to per-agent KaneAI licenses — every tier now shows '1 Agent' and allocates credits per month per agent rather than per account. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount added, new plan, plan renamed, plan removed, metric change, limit increase) with an upward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Sep 7, 2026) lists KaneAI Starter at $17, KaneAI Pro at $89 and KaneAI Max at $179.
