In detail: Enterprise Platform's Key Capabilities list swaps 'Real-time HTAP' for 'Single node analytics', in the same bullet position between Automated failover and Observability and monitoring. Pulse files it as a packaging change (feature change, plan removed) with a downward direction. The current page lists Power at $0.16 per hour, PowerPlus at $0.21 per hour and Community Server Support at $50.
It lands 20 days after MariaDB's previous change, "MariaDB: GridGain cache bundled into base tier; AI features move to Ultimate" (Aug 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "MariaDB: Compute pricing hidden behind Contact Us, starting rates cut" (Jul 3, 2026). MariaDB has been tracked since 2026-03-01.
In the same window Microsoft and Google Cloud also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
