Anyword
- Performance predictions, the feature the product is built around, are rationed: 50 a month on Starter at $49 and 100 on Data-Driven at $99
- Data rows are capped at 50 on both published tiers, so custom data needs the Business plan
- Starter is a single seat
- Custom AI models and SSO require Business or Enterprise, both quote-only
- The trial is 7 days and 2,500 words, and no refunds are offered
Banana
- Banana shut down its serverless GPU infrastructure on 31 March 2024 at noon PST and told customers to migrate to another provider by that time
- The vendor's own sunset notice names limited runway, retention problems and GPU supply constraints as the reasons for closing
- The banana.dev site still displays pricing tiers, but every tier links to the sunset notice rather than to a purchase
