What happened

Between the Sep 3, 2026 and Sep 4, 2026 captures of MindsDB's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: MindsHub scrubbed every mention of the 5% platform fee: hero bullet, the 'Platform fee' info box, the volume-pricing note, and the FAQ answer all dropped the fee language. Rate table is unchanged. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price decrease) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 29, 2026) lists Pay as you go at $0.1 input tokens (MindsHub Air, per 1M) + $0.5 output tokens (MindsHub Air, per 1M).

It lands 11 days after MindsDB's previous change, "MindsDB splits Free/Pro into Cowork + Inference API, adds 5% platform fee" (Aug 24, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "MindsDB: Pro plan billing moved from spend-controls to prepaid balance" (Aug 17, 2026), "MindsHub: Air & Luna rate cut ~80%, web app dropped, support added" (Aug 10, 2026) and "MindsDB: Pro tier drops $9.95 flat fee for pay-as-you-go pricing" (Aug 4, 2026). MindsDB has been tracked since 2026-03-01.

In the same window Huggingface and Alteryx also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.

“MindsHub” is the name MindsDB’s pricing page uses; Pulse files the change under MindsDB, the company it tracks.
