Pulumi
- The free Individual plan allows one user and one concurrent stack update
- The Team plan is $40 per month base including 40 credits, and caps the organisation at 10 users
- SAML/SSO, RBAC, audit logs and drift detection require the Enterprise plan at $400 per month base

- Managed secrets are billed separately at $0.50 per secret per month on Team and $0.75 on Enterprise
- Self-hosting, SCIM user sync, audit log export and 24x7 support are only in Business Critical, which is custom priced with no published rate
- Team includes up to 500 resources and Enterprise up to 2,000, with everything beyond billed on demand as credits
Resemble AI
- The Team plan jumps to $350/month for just 5 seats, a steep increase from the free Flex tier.

- SSO and org-wide security features are only available starting on the $1,000/month Business plan.
- Voice cloning of another person's voice requires explicit consent verification, adding friction to some workflows.
