Mintlify offers startups 6 months of Pro free, no card needed
What happened
Between the Sep 30, 2026 and Oct 1, 2026 captures of Mintlify's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: New startup program promo: 6 months of Mintlify Pro free for startups founded within two years, raised under $2M, and never on a paid plan. Pulse files it as a pricing change (discount added) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Pro at $450.
