Retool Introduces Free Tier for Up to 50 Users, Restructures Pricing to Enhance Accessibility
What happened
Between the Jul 6, 2025 and Oct 5, 2025 captures of Retool's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: External user pricing restructured: introduced free tier for 0-50 users (previously started at $8/month for 0-250 users), and replaced free over-500 tier (Business only) with $4/month pricing. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 5, 2026) lists Business at $6, Team at $10 and Additional Workflow Runs at $75 workflow runs.
Retool's previous recorded change was "Retool Expands Database Storage for Business and Team Plans to Unlimited Rows and Tables" (Q2 2025). Retool has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Mendix and Airtable also changed their Software Development & Testing pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
