Hi staff / everyone,I recall there used to be a $5/month Hacker plan, which was perfect for running small bots/scripts. But in my account (username: huanaguoji012), under Account → Upgrade/Downgrade, I only see the Developer plan at $10/month now — no $5 option.From the blog posts (Dec 2025), it looks like the Hacker and Web Developer plans were merged into Developer $10/month starting January 2026 (EU: Jan 8, US: Jan 15). Free users who upgraded before the deadline could lock in $5/month forever.Since the deadline has passed:Is the $5 plan completely discontinued for everyone now? Any chance for existing free/older users to get the old $5 rate, or is there an alternative low-cost option? If I upgrade now, will it be $10/month permanently?

Thanks for clarifying — I was planning to upgrade for always-on tasks but the price jump is a bit surprising!Best, huanaguoji012

Yeah, if you didn't sign up before the new rates set in, $10 a month is the lowest price you can pay, even with the Custom tier. Apparently, you can also contact them to get a discount on yearly pricing.
