What happened

Between the Apr 27, 2026 and May 4, 2026 captures of MariaDB's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Power plan starting price decreased from $0.18/hour to $0.16/hour; PowerPlus plan starting price decreased from $0.22/hour to $0.21/hour; Compute pricing table restructured: Power and PowerPlus columns merged into a single 'Power / PowerPlus' column; all explicit Power and PowerPlus prices replaced with 'Contact Us'. Column header renamed from 'Name' to 'Size'. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price decrease, price hidden) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 24, 2026) lists Power at $0.16 per hour, PowerPlus at $0.21 per hour and Community Server Support at $50.
