What softwareused to cost
Every price these tools ever published, hung in order from the line that price drew. A long flat wire is a price that held. A step is the day it moved. Read straight off the archived pages at web.archive.org — every tag opens the page it came from.

How good the record is: how many years the archive caught, how densely, how recently, how many plans, and whether the price ever moved. The thinnest records sit at the bottom and say so. Every rail opens on today; scroll it left to go back in time.
Figma
Last rise 8m ago.
Held at $12 for 7y 7m, 2018 to 2026.
What happened hereHide
Figma had no paid plan at all in 2016 — the page read “free during the Preview Release”. The 2017 capture is a JavaScript shell with no content. 2018-06 — the first paid plan · 2026-01 — the seat splits into Full, Dev and Collab; Full is $16
Spotify
Last rise 1y 8m ago.
Held at $9.99 for 7y 11m, 2016 to 2024.
What happened hereHide
The 2014 and 2015 captures hold no readable price. 2024-01 — the first rise in eight years · 2025-01 — and a second, twelve months later
Linear
Last rise 8m ago.
Held at $8 for 5y 6m, 2020 to 2026.
What happened hereHide
2020-07 — called Standard · 2024-08 — renamed Basic · 2026-01 — the first rise in five and a half years
Notion
Last rise 6m ago.
Held at $8 for 4y 11m, 2021 to 2026.
What happened hereHide
Notion's pricing page was rendered in the browser until early 2021, so every capture before then is an empty shell. Every 2025 capture was crawled from Europe and prints euros, so 2025 has no dollar record. 2021-04 — called Team · 2023-01 — renamed Plus
Vercel
Last rise 6y 11m ago.
Held at $20 for 6y 11m and counting.
What happened hereHide
Captures before April 2020 are zeit.co/pricing: the company was ZEIT and the product was Now. ZEIT also sold a $15 Premium tier, which is not the ancestor of today's Pro and is not on this line. 2017-05 — a flat monthly fee, not a seat · 2018-12 — Now 2.0 dropped the tiers for pure usage billing · 2019-10 — named tiers return at $20 · 2026-01 — still $20, but the seat now carries a usage meter
Amazon Prime
Last rise 3y 8m ago.
Held at $12.99 for 4y 7m, 2018 to 2023.
What happened hereHide
The 2025 capture holds no readable price. 2023-01 — the first rise in the record, after five years at $12.99
ClickUp
Last rise 1y 8m ago.
Held at $5 for 6y 10m, 2018 to 2025.
What happened hereHide
The 2020 and 2021 captures print a Business figure that does not line up with either side of it, so only the captures that read cleanly are plotted.
Airtable
Last rise 2y 8m ago.
Held at $10 for 4y 11m, 2019 to 2024.
What happened hereHide
Airtable retired Plus in 2023 and Team took its place in the lineup at twice the price. The 2017 and 2018 captures hold no readable price. 2024-01 — Plus retired; Team took its slot at $20
Disney+
Raised 8m ago, and that is the price today.
Held at $13.99 for 1y, 2024 to 2025.
What happened hereHide
The 2019 and 2020 captures print only the three-service bundle price, not the standalone monthly, so Disney+ starts here in 2021 rather than at its 2019 launch. 2021-01 — the original launch price · 2026-01 — the fifth rise in five years
GitHub
No rise anywhere in 8y 8m of readable record.
Held at $4 for 5y 8m and counting.
What happened hereHide
GitHub cut Team from $9 to $4 in April 2020. The January 2020 capture still shows $9; the next yearly capture shows $4. 2021-01 — cut from $9 to $4
Slack
Raised 8m ago, and that is the price today.
Held at $6.67 for 5y 1m, 2015 to 2020.
What happened hereHide
Slack's pricing page was rendered in the browser from 2021 to 2025, so those captures hold no readable price. Standard was renamed Pro during that gap. 2026-01 — now called Pro
Asana
Last rise 5y before the record ends in 2025.
Held at $10.99 for 5y, 2020 to 2025.
What happened hereHide
2018-01 — first rise, $8.33 to $9.99 · 2020-01 — second rise, $9.99 to $10.99 · 2025-01 — renamed Starter at the same price
Netlify
Raised 8m ago, and that is the price today.
Held at $19 for 4y 11m, 2021 to 2026.
What happened hereHide
Before 2021 Netlify sold Pro as a flat $45 a month for a team of five, not per member, so those captures are not on these lines.
Netflix
No rise anywhere in 2y of readable record, which ends in 2025.
Held at $6.99 for 2y, 2023 to 2025.
What happened hereHide
Netflix's plan-price page holds no readable price before 2022 or in 2026 — those captures render the table in the browser. What is here is the US list price exactly as the page printed it. 2023-01 — the ad-supported tier appears at $6.99
Paramount+
Raised in 2025, the last readable capture — nothing after it to compare.
Held at $5.99 for 1y, 2024 to 2025.
What happened hereHide
The 2022 and 2023 captures hold no readable price. 2025-01 — a third added in one year
Dropbox
Last rise 3y 8m ago.
Held at $9.99 for 3y 8m and counting.
What happened hereHide
Dropbox has one of the thinnest records here: the 2019 to 2022 captures hold no readable price, and the 2018 capture was crawled as a Chinese page, though it still prints the US dollar rate. 2018-01 — captured in Traditional Chinese, printing US$8.25
Sentry
No rise anywhere in 7y 8m of readable record.
Held at $26 for 1y 8m and counting.
What happened hereHide
The 2021 to 2024 captures hold no readable price. Every capture that does — 2019, 2020, 2025 and 2026 — prints the same two figures.
Plausible
Last rise 3y 8m ago.
Held at $6 for 2y, 2021 to 2023.
Webflow
Last rise 2y before the record ends in 2025.
Held at $16 for 3y 8m, 2019 to 2023.
What happened hereHide
The 2026 capture reorganised the table and its CMS figure could not be read with confidence, so it is left off rather than guessed.
Audible
No rise anywhere in 5y 8m of readable record.
Held at $14.95 for 1y 8m and counting.
What happened hereHide
The 2018 to 2020 captures hold no readable price, and the 2026 capture was crawled as a Spanish page — it still prints US dollars, but that is why its wording differs.
GitLab
Raised in 2024, the last readable capture — nothing after it to compare.
Held at $19 for 3y, 2021 to 2024.
What happened hereHide
The 2019 and 2020 captures hold no readable price, and 2025 shows only a promotional rate for new small-business customers, so neither is plotted. 2024-01 — a 53% rise after six years at $19
HBO Max
No rise anywhere in 2y 1m of readable record, which ends in 2024.
Held at $9.99 for 2y 1m, 2022 to 2024.
What happened hereHide
The 2020 capture holds no readable price, the 2023 capture prints only the ad-supported tier, and the 2025 capture says 'plans start at' without naming which plan — none of those are plotted rather than guessed.
Intercom
No rise anywhere in 1y of readable record, which ends in 2025.
Held at $39 for 1y, 2024 to 2025.
What happened hereHide
Intercom only started pricing Essential per seat in 2024; before that it charged by active people reached, which is a different unit and is not plotted. Two points is what the archive honestly supports. 2024-01 — the first per-seat price · 2025-01 — a 26% cut
Zoom
No rise anywhere in 3y of readable record, which ends in 2020.
Held at $14.99 for 3y, 2017 to 2020.
What happened hereHide
Every capture from 2022 on is a JavaScript shell with no readable price, so Zoom's record stops in 2020.
Canva
Raised in 2022, the last readable capture — nothing after it to compare.
Held at $9.95 for 1y 10m, 2020 to 2022.
What happened hereHide
Only three captures were readable, so this is the shortest record on the wall.
monday.com
Raised in 2024, the last readable capture — nothing after it to compare.
Held at $10 for 2y 1m, 2022 to 2024.
What happened hereHide
Before 2021 monday.com sold a flat monthly price for a block of seats, not a per-seat price, so those captures are not on this line. The 2021, 2025 and 2026 captures were crawled from Europe and print euros.
Priced as a percentage
Stripe is the 27th tool in the count above, and the only one not on the wall: it takes a share of the transaction rather than a fee per seat. That cannot share a dollar axis with the plans above without distorting it, so it is listed as the pages printed them.
