StarTree: pricing revealed — vCPU-based rates for Public SaaS & BYOC
What happened
Between the Jul 27, 2026 and Aug 3, 2026 captures of StarTree's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Public SaaS pay-as-you-go now shows $0.51/hr per production vCPU; Private BYOC now shows $0.34/hr per production vCPU; BYOK remains custom (Let's Talk). Page moved from fully hidden/contact-only pricing to a public 3-tier deployment model. In detail: StarTree replaced its fully custom/contact-only pricing page with public tiered pricing: Public SaaS pay-as-you-go $0.51/hr per vCPU, Private BYOC $0.34/hr per vCPU, and BYOK (Let's Talk, custom terms). Pulse files it as a pricing change (price revealed) with an upward direction.
It lands 33 days after StarTree's previous change, "StarTree strips Shared/Dedicated/Enterprise tiers, hides pricing behind sales" (Jul 2, 2026). StarTree has been tracked since 2026-04-29.
In the same window Datadog, Splunk, Grafana and New Relic also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
