State Affairs: 12-month commitment disclosed for Monthly/Annual billing
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of State Affairs's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Added disclosure that both Monthly and Annual billing options are 12-month commitment terms — choosing Monthly only changes payment cadence, not contract length. Pulse files it as a packaging change (metric change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 2, 2026) lists News at $50 and Pro at $188.
It lands the same day as State Affairs's previous change, "State Affairs Selfservice clarifies: Monthly billing still locks in 12-month term" (Aug 24, 2026). State Affairs has been tracked since 2026-07-05.
In the same window LexisNexis, Prophecy, WARNTracker and Senzing also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
