Netlify Doubles Compute and Bandwidth Credit Rates, Cuts Request Costs
What happened
Between the Apr 13, 2026 and Apr 20, 2026 captures of Netlify's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Usage credit rates restructured: Compute doubled (5→10 credits/GB-hour), Bandwidth doubled (10→20 credits/GB), Web requests decreased (3→2 credits/10k). Form submissions removed from usage display. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 3, 2026) lists Concurrent Builds Add-on at $40, Preview Servers Add-on at $15, Add-on Credits (Pro) at $10 per 1500 credits and Add-on Credits (Personal) at $5 per 500 credits.
It lands 21 days after Netlify's previous change, "Netlify slashes free analytics retention from 7 days to 1 day" (Apr 3, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Netlify shifts personal plan analytics from 7-day to 1-day observability" (Feb 16, 2026). Netlify has been tracked since 2023-11-17.
