TheRundown softens Starter data-source and market coverage promises
What happened
Between the Aug 31, 2026 and Sep 7, 2026 captures of TheRundown's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: Starter plan bullets softened from 'All 20+ data sources'/'All periods & markets' to 'Currently published'/'Supported periods & markets'; Ultra WebSocket text similarly changed to 'supported published sources'. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 2026) lists Starter at $39, Pro at $119, Ultra at $319, Super at $519 and Mega at $799.
It lands 7 days after TheRundown's previous change, "TheRundown caps free plan at 200K/mo, expands sub-second odds to all books" (Aug 30, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "TheRundown cuts data-point overage rates ~99% and narrows sub-second odds to sharp books" (Aug 24, 2026), "TheRundown: Data source coverage expanded 18 to 20+ (added Novig, ProphetX)" (Aug 17, 2026) and "TheRundown: Ultra WebSocket claims softened, freshness scoped to sharp books" (Aug 5, 2026). TheRundown has been tracked since 2026-07-15.
In the same window Windsor.ai, Whalesync, Vantage, Tinybird and TDengine also changed their Data & Analytics pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
