   Intercom

   Intercom is quietly testing a $19 Essential seat against its $29 list price

   $29 per seat/month (most visitors)→$19 per seat/month (a minority of visitors)

   Intercom is showing a cheaper Essential seat to a slice of its traffic to learn whether $19 wins enough new teams to beat $29. Both prices are live on the same day, so what looked like a cut undone in five days is one experiment seen from two sides. Advanced at $85 and Expert at $132 are the same for everyone.

   MindsDB

   MindsDB raises DeepSeek V4.1 Flash rates and ends its $5,000 credit match

   $0.22 / $0.66 per 1M tokens in/out→$0.30 / $1.20 per 1M tokens in/out

   Output nearly doubled, and the 100% MindsHub Foundry match that funded new teams is gone, so the cost of trying the platform rose on both ends at once.

   n8n

   n8n cuts Assistant credits about 30% on Starter and Pro at unchanged prices

   2,300 credits a month (Starter)→1,600 credits a month (Starter)

   The rename to Assistant credits hides a smaller allowance on both self-serve tiers, with Pro falling from up to 13,700 to 9,600, while concurrent executions rose from 20 to 50.

   fal

   fal raises every GPU tier a second time, H100 to $2.49 an hour

   $1.89/hr (H100)→$2.49/hr (H100)

   B200 went from $3.49 to $5.49 and H200 from $2.10 to $2.99, a 32% to 81% spread rather than the 'up to 33%' a single-tier label suggests; a GB200 tier debuted at $5.89.

   S

   Slack

   Slack puts a $45 price on Enterprise+, ending "Contact sales"

   Contact sales for pricing→$45 per user/month, billed annually

   The top tier gets a list price for the first time since tracking began, a figure buyers can benchmark against Teams and Zoom without talking to a rep.

What to watch

• Whether Intercom keeps the $19 seat: a standing $19 would be a 34% cut on the entry plan, while $29 means the test ends quietly. If you bought at $19, check what your renewal says.

• MindsDB and fal both raised inference or GPU rates for the second time in recent weeks; a third move would make it a trend rather than a correction.

• Credit renames that shrink allowances, n8n and Synthesia this week, are the quiet way to raise prices; expect more as vendors rebrand AI credits.
