scite shifts Team plan to $50/seat, cuts free seats from 2 to 1
What happened
Between the Jul 6, 2026 and Jul 13, 2026 captures of scite's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Team plan billing unit changed from a flat $100/month rate to $50/seat/month per-seat pricing; base included seats also dropped from 2 to 1. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Basic at $12 and Pro at $40.
It lands 7 days after scite's previous change, "scite Basic adds unlimited Assistant, Claude/ChatGPT links; drops Dashboards" (Jul 6, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "scite shifts Enterprise to flexible pooled usage billing" (Jun 18, 2026). scite has been tracked since 2026-05-15.
