MindsDB drops free trial, charges users from day one
What happened
Between the Jun 8, 2026 and Jun 15, 2026 captures of MindsDB's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: 7-day free trial removed across both plans. Hero bullets, plan cards, and FAQ answer updated: 'No — there is no free trial. Monthly billing starts immediately.'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (trial change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 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 8 days after MindsDB's previous change, "MindsDB expands MindsHub with GBrain and Gemini 3.5 Flash upgrade" (Jun 9, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "MindsDB delays key AI workflows and model routing features" (Jun 2, 2026) and "MindsDB overhauls pricing page with new product tier structure" (Apr 9, 2026). MindsDB has been tracked since 2026-03-01.
In the same window Huggingface, Alteryx and Databricks also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
