Scalr spells out billable runs: failed runs count, drift detection is free
What happened
Between the Oct 26, 2026 and Nov 2, 2026 captures of Scalr's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: New section defines billable runs: apply and dry runs (incl. PR plans) billed, failed plan/apply runs billed; drift detection, pre-plan stops, init failures not billed. Overage stays $0.99/run; Pricing tagline changed from 'Predictable pricing. No per-user fees, no per-resource charges' to 'Billed per run. No charge for users, resources, concurrency or self-hosted agents'. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. The current page lists Business at $0.99 per run.
It lands 28 days after Scalr's previous change, "Scalr swaps "Unlimited" for "No extra charge" on Business and Enterprise" (Oct 5, 2026). Scalr has been tracked since 2026-05-06.
In the same window Hashicorp, Pulumi, Spacelift, Puppet and Google Cloud also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
