    <title>Salesforce keeps Agentforce at $125/user/mo but adds new pricing models</title>

    <description>The $125/user/month Agentforce add-on hasn't been replaced — it's still listed for Sales and Service. What's changed is the packaging around it: Salesforce now also sells consumption-based Flex Credits, per-conversation pricing, a much pricier all-in Agentforce 1 Edition tier, and a low-cost per-user license that still requires buying Flex Credits separately. For buyers, $125 is now one option inside a wider menu rather than the only current path to Agentforce.</description>

    <title>Atlassian is sunsetting Data Center outright — and Cloud migration isn't a like-for-like cost swap</title>

    <description>Atlassian is retiring Data Center entirely on a three-year phased timeline. Bitbucket Data Center keeps a separate hybrid license. A 10-20% first-year Cloud Enterprise discount is offered through June 2027, but independent analysis puts the average Cloud premium at around 28% — a figure Atlassian itself has not published or confirmed.</description>

    <title>Salesforce replaces Einstein AI packaging with a $125/user/mo Agentforce add-on</title>

    <description>This is an add-on price on top of the underlying Salesforce edition, not a replacement for Salesforce's core CRM subscription. Agentforce usage outside unmetered employee-agent activity is now tracked through a separate Flex Credits system, so the $125/month sticker price doesn't mean unlimited AI usage.</description>

    <title>QuickBooks raises affected Essentials, Plus, and Advanced subscriptions at renewal — but not Simple Start</title>
    <link>https://quiethike.com/#quickbooks-online-price-increase-2026</link>

    <description>QuickBooks Online raised prices for Essentials, Plus, and Advanced at renewals on or after August 1, 2026 — Simple Start, Free, Lite, and Ledger were not part of this increase, per QuickBooks' own announcement. Essentials rose to $85/mo, Plus to $140/mo, and Advanced to $340/mo.</description>

    <title>Figma's per-product pricing became per-seat — and monthly billing disappeared from Organization and Enterprise</title>

    <description>The bigger story isn't the sticker price — it's that Organization and Enterprise no longer offer monthly billing at all going forward, only annual. Teams with fluctuating headcount lost a flexibility option that existed before the overhaul.</description>

    <title>Kit retired its old $15 entry tier — and Creator now starts at $33/mo billed annually</title>

    <description>This wasn't a gradual increase — the old low-tier pricing structure was retired outright in the September 2025 repricing. Anyone quoting Kit's "starts at $15" is quoting a price that no longer exists for new signups.</description>
