What happened
Between the Sep 28, 2026 and Oct 5, 2026 captures of Render's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Render Key Value (Redis-compatible) compute tiers repriced and restructured: 1 GB RAM cut from $32 to $20/month, 5 GB from $135 to $100, 10 GB from $250 to $200, 20 GB from $550 to $350, 40 GB from $1,100 to $600; new 3 GB ($60) and 50 GB ($750) tiers added; table now lists storage and CPU per tier, and connection limits reduced on the 256 MB (250→200) and 1 GB (1,000→250) tiers; Workflows max compute reduced from 8 CPU/32 GB RAM to 4 CPU/16 GB (8c-32g $2.50/hour option removed); Render Key Value max RAM raised from 40 GB to 50 GB. Pulse files it as a pricing change (price decrease, limit decrease) with a downward direction. The current page lists Pro at $25, Scale at $499, Postgres - Pro 4GB at $55, Postgres - Pro 16GB at $200 and Postgres - Pro 64GB at $800.
It lands 7 days after Render's previous change, "Render: Workflows compute doubles to 8 CPU / 32 GB RAM" (Sep 28, 2026). Render has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
