Metronome: entry plan renamed Starter → Startup
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of Metronome's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: entry-level plan renamed from "Starter" to "Startup"; pricing unchanged (0.8% billing volume, $0.04/1k ingest events). Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan renamed) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 26, 2026) lists Starter at $0.8.
It lands 20 days after Metronome's previous change, "Metronome: Starter plan free-volume allowance removed" (Aug 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Metronome adds usage pricing detail: $100K included, 0.8% overage on Starter" (Jul 13, 2026). Metronome has been tracked since 2026-05-04.
In the same window Zoho, Quickbooks, Stripe, Freshbooks and Recurly also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
