WHY IT MATTERS
Watch whether this free-trial format becomes a repeatable playbook for Together's model launches, or stays a one-off tied to Muse Spark Open — and whether the $1.25/$4.25 list price holds once the promo window closes Oct 18.
BY THE NUMBERS
- Together's first free-trial play across its tracked pricing changes
- 2 days since Together's last change (Kimi K3 cached input to $0.30/1M)
- 35 real pricing changes since Together was first tracked Dec 29, 2025
- Free trials touched 89 changes across 79 companies in the last 180 days
THEIR RATIONALE
Together frames this as a launch promotion: a time-boxed free trial (through 10/18/2026, 12 p.m. PT) to drive adoption of a brand-new model, paired with simply adding a second new model, Nemotron 3.5 Super VL, to the catalog at list pricing. Framed against its own history, that's a shift in register — this is the first time Together's pattern tracking shows it leaning on a free-trial play; most of its 17 changes in the last 90 days have been price moves, most recently raising Kimi K3's cached input price to $0.30 per 1M tokens just 2 days earlier.
THE SIGNAL
The signal is less about the discount and more about the pace: Together has made 35 real pricing changes since it was first tracked on Dec 29, 2025, averaging about 8 days between them, split between price increases (11) and decreases (7) — a company that treats inference pricing as a dial it turns constantly, not a page it visits a few times a year. A free trial is a different lever than its usual one, and it's reaching for it now, alongside a new model, for a company whose own track record shows no earlier free-trial or promo plays before this one.
IN CONTEXT
Together's own track record shows no earlier free-trial or promo plays — this is the first — which stands out against a company that otherwise moves fast on price: just 2 days earlier it raised Kimi K3's cached input price to $0.30 per 1M tokens, and before that it cut Kimi K3 token prices 10% and cut Qwen3.7-Max and Qwen3.8 Flash inference prices 40%. Free trials are a bigger theme elsewhere: Mintlify swapped free credits for a 14-day Pro trial with 5,000 credits, while Airbyte cut its free trial from 30 to 14 days — both part of 89 changes across 79 companies leaning on free trials in 180 days. For Together, giving a new model away free before the Oct 18 cutoff is a cheap way to seed usage ahead of its $1.25/$4.25 list price.
