What happened

Between the May 25, 2026 and Jun 1, 2026 captures of NS1's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Purchase section heading changed from 'Ways to buy' to 'Use cloud credits', highlighting cloud credits as the primary purchasing method alongside AWS Marketplace. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Essentials at CAD 142 and Standard at CAD 500.

It lands 39 days after NS1's previous change, "NS1 drops 30% discount, returns to full-price DNS plans" (Apr 24, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "NS1 Slashes DNS Pricing 30% on Essentials and Standard Plans" (Mar 23, 2026). NS1 has been tracked since 2026-03-01.

In the same window Akamai Technologies and Cloudflare also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
