Octane AI redefines credit: 1 credit now = 1 quiz start, not completion
What happened
Between the Nov 2, 2026 and Nov 9, 2026 captures of Octane AI's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Credit billing unit redefined: 1 credit now equals 1 quiz START (previously 1 quiz completion/engagement). AI feature credit rate disclosure also changed from vague to 'starting from 0.04 credits per use'. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change). The current page lists Octane AI Basic at $43, Octane AI Plus at $170 and Octane AI Enterprise & Unlimited at $425.
It lands 7 days after Octane AI's previous change, "Octane AI swaps unlimited credits for unlimited quiz takes on Enterprise" (Nov 1, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Octane AI: Plan comparison table rebuilt: adds AI assistant tiers (Fast/Standard/Advanced), Octane API, MCP, Shopify…" (Oct 26, 2026), "Octane AI drops Pop-ups & opt-ins from Basic plan, cuts widgets row" (Oct 11, 2026) and "Octane AI: Annual billing option added, 15% savings" (Aug 17, 2026). Octane AI has been tracked since 2026-05-15.
In the same window Klaviyo, Intercom and Gorgias also changed their Marketing & Content pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
