Netlify and Windsurf Pricing Shifts

• Windsurf saw a notable change on June 15 regarding its Teams offering. The price shifted from a flat $40/user/month to a base of $80/mo plus an additional $40/mo per seat. This follows Windsurf's earlier introduction of a Free ($0/month) tier on May 25.

Vercel and Firebase Updates

Platform-as-a-Service providers have focused on refining their entry-level and usage-based offerings.

• On May 25, Vercel added a Free Hobby plan and updated its Pro tier to $20/mo (plus additional usage).
