Copy.ai

  • Chat plan limited to 5 seats; must upgrade to Growth plan ($1,000/month) for teams of 10+
  • Workflow credits limited to 20K per month on Growth plan; higher usage requires upgrading to Expansion ($2,000/month) or above

Linode

  • linode.com/pricing returns a 301 redirect to akamai.com/cloud/pricing; the service is now sold as Akamai Cloud
  • Charges accrue for any service on the account even when it is powered off, because RAM and network capacity stay reserved; only deleting the service stops billing
  • Network transfer beyond the monthly allotment is billed from $0.005 per GB and the rate varies by region
  • The Akamai Cloud pricing landing page shows no rates and directs visitors to regional pricing pages or sales
