Mux hikes live captions overage 10x to $0.024/min past 6k free minutes
What happened
Between the Sep 7, 2026 and Sep 14, 2026 captures of Mux's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Live captions overage rate increased 10x, from $0.0024/min to $0.024/min, after the 6k free-minutes-per-month allowance is used. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price increase) with an upward direction. The current page lists Pre-pay Launch at $20, Pre-pay Scale at $500, Pay as you go at $0 per minute (storage) + $0 per minute (delivery), Mux Robots - Summarization at $0 per minute (summarization) + $0.01 per job (summarization) and Mux Robots - Chapter Generation at $0 per minute (chapter generation) + $0 per job (chapter generation).
It lands 7 days after Mux's previous change, "Mux adds explicit 100K free Robots AI unit quota to Free & Pay-as-you-go plans" (Sep 7, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Mux adds Shots workflow at $0.001/min for shot detection" (Jun 29, 2026). Mux has been tracked since 2026-05-15.
In the same window Wistia, Vimeo and Google Cloud also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
