What happened
Between the Oct 19, 2026 and Oct 26, 2026 captures of Render's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Workflows max task compute raised from 4 CPU/16 GB to 8 CPU/32 GB; new 8c-32g tier at $2.50/hour added to the compute table; Workflows comparison rows changed from concurrent task runs (20/50/100, then $10/mo per 50) to parallel task compute (10,000 CPU/40,000 GB RAM) and per-minute task compute; overage fee gone. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change, limit increase) with an upward 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 21 days after Render's previous change, "Render Key Value cuts compute prices up to 45% and adds 50 GB tier; Workflows max compute halved" (Oct 5, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Render: Workflows compute doubles to 8 CPU / 32 GB RAM" (Sep 28, 2026). Render has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Digitalocean, Railway and Google Cloud also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
