Plivo drops phone number pricing, rebrands Pro plan to Pay as you go
What happened
Between the Mar 30, 2026 and Apr 6, 2026 captures of Plivo's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Pricing page restructured: plan renamed Professional to Pay as you go. Channel pricing now shows Local/Toll-Free/Browser SDK voice rates, SMS by code type, and WhatsApp Business conversation types; Phone Number pricing removed from the pricing page. Before showed Local numbers starting at $0.50/month and Tollfree numbers starting at $1.00/month. No phone number pricing section exists in the new page. Pulse files it as a pricing change (package change, price hidden) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Aug 24, 2026) lists Enterprise at $1,000.
It lands 9 days after Plivo's previous change, "Plivo Slashes Voice AI Agent Pricing 78% in Major Platform Overhaul" (Apr 1, 2026). Plivo has been tracked since 2026-03-02.
