Verified price & limit changes
-
limit increaseUpgradeGamma Plus monthly credits now listed as 1,500 (was 1,000)
Gamma's pricing page now lists '1,500 monthly credits' on the Plus plan; on 2026-10-28 the same plan read '1,000 monthly credits'. The Plus price ('$9 / seat / month', '$108 per seat, billed annually') and the Pro (4,000) and Ultra (20,000) credit figures read the same on both dates.
-
limit increaseUpgradeRaycast Free notes now listed as Included (was 5 notes)
Raycast's pricing page now lists Raycast Notes as 'Included' in its plan comparison and drops the Free card's '5 Free Notes' line; on 2026-10-28 the comparison read '5 notes' for Free and 'Unlimited' for Pro. Raycast's 2.10 changelog (October 28, 2026) says it decided 'to lift the 5 note limit on the free plan'. Free stays at '$0', and Pro's '$96 billed annually' and '500 credits of AI usage' are unchanged.
-
limit changeReplit Pro parallel agents now listed as not stated (was 10 parallel agents)
Replit's pricing page no longer lists '10 parallel agents' on the Pro plan ('$100 $90 / month, billed annually', '$100 towards most powerful models' and 'Up to 15 collaborators', all unchanged); on 2026-10-28 the Pro card read '10 parallel agents'. The same redesign also dropped 'Invite up to 50 viewers' from Pro and 'Plan mode' from Core, although Replit's docs still say 'Using Plan Mode requires Core', so a line leaving the card does not by itself show the feature was removed.
-
new tierGitHub Copilot access for enterprises now listed at $0 with Enterprise Cloud or $10 standalone (was not listed)
GitHub's Copilot plans docs now list 'Copilot access', which 'Provides the same feature and model eligibility as Copilot Enterprise, with a $0 seat charge for users with a GitHub Enterprise Cloud license or $10 USD per user per month for Copilot Standalone'; it has 'No included allowance', so metered usage is billed from the first use. The 2026-10-28 copy listed only Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise for organizations, which remain available. GitHub's changelog says self-serve availability is coming in stages.
-
limit changeOriginality.ai Pro scan history now listed as 30 Day (was 1 Year)
Originality.ai's pricing page now lists '30 Day Scan History' on the Pro plan card ('$12.95/month' billed yearly, '$14.95/month' monthly, '200K words (2K credits) per month', all unchanged); on 2026-10-27 the same card read '1 Year Scan History'. The page's comparison table listed Pro scan history as '30 days' on both dates, so this may be the card being brought in line with the table rather than a new limit. Enterprise still lists '1 year scan history'.
-
correctionCorrectionQuillBot Premium price corrected to $19.95 (we had listed $23.95)
Our data listed QuillBot Premium at $23.95 a month. QuillBot's Premium page reads '$19.95 USD Per month' in our saved copies from 2026-10-22, 2026-10-23 and 2026-10-27, so we corrected the figure. This fixes our own error; QuillBot did not change its price. The $8.33 billed-annually figure was already correct.

Photoroom's pricing page now lists '4K images + HD video' on the Ultra plan ($99/month, $82.50/month billed yearly, 75,000 AI credits and 10,000 exports, all unchanged); on 2026-10-26 the same plan card read '4k video/image resolution'. Pro and Max still list it as not included.

limit increaseWispr Flow raises the free Android limit to 2,500 words a week (3,000 maximum)
Wispr's plans help page now lists the free plan's weekly Android limit as '2,500-word allowance; 3,000-word maximum.' (it listed '1,000-word allowance; 1,500-word maximum.' on 2026-10-26) and notes the Android app's "1,000 words per week" wording reads lower than real usage; iOS stays at '550-word allowance; 750-word maximum.' and Mac and Windows at '2,000-word allowance; 5,000-word maximum.'
