What happened

Between the Apr 27, 2026 and May 4, 2026 captures of Modal's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Region selection pricing multiplier range changed from 1.25–2.5x to 1.5–1.75x base prices across all plans. Upper bound lowered from 2.5x to 1.75x; lower bound raised from 1.25x to 1.5x. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Team at $250, Compute resources at $1.1 NVIDIA A10G instance hour + $1.95 L40S GPU hour and Sandbox + Notebooks compute at $2.4 per 100 GiB-Hour + $14.19 per 100 core-hours.
