What happened
Between the Aug 10, 2026 and Aug 17, 2026 captures of NordVPN's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Prime plan's Coveron bullet reworded from itemized coverage amounts ($1M identity theft, $100K cyber extortion) to vague marketing copy; comparison table still shows same $1M/$100K coverage. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 26, 2026) lists Basic at $3.09, Complete at $3.99 and Prime at $6.99.
