Livekit Begins Billing for Agent Observability After Beta
What happened
Between the Dec 29, 2025 and Jan 5, 2026 captures of Livekit's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Agent Observability exited beta: free-until-Jan-2026 notice removed (overages now billed); Observability row added to pricing calculator as a toggleable line item. Pulse files it as a product change (feature change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 26, 2026) lists Ship at $50 and Scale at $500.
Livekit's previous recorded change was "Livekit Restructures Telephony Pricing with New Local and Toll-Free Number Options" (Jan 12, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Livekit Transitions to AI Agent-Centric Pricing Model, Introducing Agent Session Minutes and Inference Credits" (Q3 2025). Livekit has been tracked since 2025-01-03.
