What happened

Between the Apr 6, 2026 and Apr 13, 2026 captures of Pilot's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Stock Administration expanded from C corps only (Carta) to all startups (Carta or Pulley); added free Founders Tier for pre-seed founders (up to 5 people on cap table); removed prepaid annual model with $450/hr overage. Pulse files it as a packaging change (add-on change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Jun 29, 2026) lists Bookkeeping Essentials at $99, Bookkeeping Core at $299, COO Essentials at $500, Tax for Single Member LLCs at $1,000 and CFO Basic at $1,750.

It lands 10 days after Pilot's previous change, "Pilot: adds free trial CTA, AI bookkeeping features, and 10x higher expense cap on Essentials" (Apr 3, 2026). Pilot has been tracked since 2023-11-19.

In the same window Zoho, Xero, Sage and Freshbooks also changed their Finance & Accounting pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
