MindsDB goes freemium with new Starter plan, keeps Pro at $9.95
What happened
Between the Jun 15, 2026 and Jun 22, 2026 captures of MindsDB's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pricing restructured from two paid $9.95/month tiers (BYO LLMs + Router) to freemium: new free Starter plan ($0) plus Pro plan ($9.95/month) with Model Router and 5M tokens included. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package 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 6 days after MindsDB's previous change, "MindsDB drops free trial, charges users from day one" (Jun 17, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "MindsDB expands MindsHub with GBrain and Gemini 3.5 Flash upgrade" (Jun 9, 2026), "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.
