Tembo: Credits billing replaced with dollar usage allowance
What happened
Between the Jul 27, 2026 and Aug 3, 2026 captures of Tembo's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Credits billing replaced with dollar-denominated usage allowance (Free $10, Pro $60, Max $200); added new compute VM pricing ($0.11-$2.95/hr) and per-model Tembo Gateway token pricing tables. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Nov 2, 2026) lists Pro at $60 and Max at $200.
It lands 8 days after Tembo's previous change, "Tembo: Pro/Max credits cut 40-50%; new sandbox size + RAM specs disclosed" (Jul 28, 2026). Tembo has been tracked since 2026-07-15.
In the same window Neon, Supabase, PlanetScale, Render and Railway also changed their AI & Machine Learning pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
