ngrok steers HIPAA buyers to self-serve add-on, drops HIPAA from Enterprise card
What happened
Between the Oct 19, 2026 and Oct 26, 2026 captures of ngrok's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Pay-as-you-go card now lists the HIPAA add-on and the Enterprise card drops 'HIPAA, BAAs'; the self-serve HIPAA Compliance add-on (+50% on usage) was already in the feature table, so this is a re-framing rather than a new offer. In detail: Pay-as-you-go card now lists HIPAA among its add-ons and Enterprise card drops 'HIPAA, BAAs' (now 'SOC 2 reports and custom terms'); FAQ and trust line updated to point HIPAA buyers at the self-serve HIPAA Compliance add-on (+50% on usage), which was already in the feature table. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Hobbyist at $8 and Pay-as-you-go at $20.
It lands 83 days after ngrok's previous change, "ngrok: BYO TLS certificate pricing shifts to usage-based ($200/mo → $0.27/hr)" (Aug 4, 2026). ngrok has been tracked since 2026-03-01.
In the same window Tailscale 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.
