Prefect Drops Customer Managed Tier, Simplifies Plan Lineup
What happened
Between the Apr 13, 2026 and Apr 21, 2026 captures of Prefect's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Customer Managed plan removed from pricing page. Previously shown as a sixth tier alongside Hobby, Starter, Team, Pro, and Enterprise in the comparison table. Pulse files it as a packaging change (plan removed) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Starter at $100 and Team at $100.
Prefect's previous recorded change was "Prefect boosts API rate limits 2.5x across all pricing tiers" (Week 11, 2026). Prefect has been tracked since 2026-03-02.
