Vercel renames Edge Config to Global Config, quotas and pricing untouched
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of Vercel's pricing page, Pulse recorded one change: 'Edge Config' product line renamed to 'Global Config' (rows now read 'Global Config Reads/Writes (formerly known as Edge Config Reads/Writes)'); included quotas and per-unit prices unchanged. Pulse files it as a product change (positioning) with a neutral direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 20, 2026) lists Pro at $20.
It lands 51 days after Vercel's previous change, "Vercel cuts Turbo/Observability prices, adds metered Connect, reworks Workflo" (Jul 4, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Vercel supercharges sandboxes 5x, splits AI pricing into token and trigger fees" (Aug 27, 2026) and "Vercel makes v0 a paid add-on, locks out Hobby users" (Jun 22, 2026). Vercel has been tracked since 2024-10-01.
In the same window Netlify, Render, Railway and Heroku also changed their Cloud & DevOps pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
