Together lets its brief Muse Spark Open promo expire on schedule

WHY IT MATTERS

Together's pace makes any single change, promotional or otherwise, easy to miss, and matching Bolt's move the same day suggests short, deadline-bound promos are becoming a routine lever model-hosting platforms pull to spike trial usage without committing to a lower list price. Watch whether Together runs another time-boxed free window on a different model next, given how often new models and price moves land on its page.

BY THE NUMBERS

• Muse Spark Open returns to $1.25 per 1M input tokens and $4.25 per 1M output tokens
• The free window was created on Oct 16, 2026, the same change that added Nemotron 3.5 Super VL to serverless
• 18 of Together's 37 tracked changes have landed in the last 90 days, a pace of roughly one every 8 days
• One of 41 discount removals across 37 companies tracked index-wide over the last 180 days (2.4%)

THEIR RATIONALE

Together created this exact promo on Oct 16, 2026 — the same change that added Nemotron 3.5 Super VL to serverless — giving Muse Spark Open a free window through 10/18/2026. Letting it lapse now, right after the stated deadline, reads as a short, pre-announced trial running its course rather than a reversal of list pricing.

THE SIGNAL

This is Together's first tracked discount-removal move, but it lands the same day Bolt let its own Pro-plan promo expire — part of a modest, recurring pattern across the index: 41 of the 1,740 pricing changes tracked in the last 180 days (2.4%) were vendors letting a discount lapse, across 37 companies. For Together specifically, it's one data point in an unusually fast cadence: 18 of its 37 tracked changes have landed in the last 90 days, a pace of roughly one every 8 days — this promo lived and died within that same rhythm.

IN CONTEXT

Together created this exact promo on Oct 16, 2026, the same change that added Nemotron 3.5 Super VL to its serverless lineup [[together/2026D289]], giving Muse Spark Open a free window through 10/18/2026. Letting it lapse now returns Muse Spark Open to its standard $1.25 input / $4.25 output pricing. It's Together's first tracked discount-removal move, but it lands the same day Bolt let its own Pro-plan promo expire [[bolt/2026D292]] — part of a modest pattern across the index: 41 of the last 1,740 tracked pricing changes (2.4%), across 37 companies, were vendors letting a discount lapse. For Together, it's one more data point in an unusually fast cadence: 18 of its 37 tracked changes have landed in the last 90 days, a pace of roughly one every 8 days.
