Notion folded its AI into the Business tier, so the plan most teams actually want went from $10 a seat to $20. For 25 people that is $6,000 a year to store documents. Docmost is the AGPL wiki that does the documentation half of that job on a $12 server, and the honest part is where its open core stops.

You can buy a support agent today that charges 99 cents when it finishes a conversation and nothing when it hands off to a person. On Monday OpenAI started testing the same deal with its biggest customers. The catch is that somebody has to define finished, and it is not you.
Vibecoding News and Updates
On Thursday the last two prerequisites between describing a tool and handing someone a working web address came off: no repository, no deploy, no terminal. In the same seven days both vendors shipped meters, caps and a restricted mode, because the steps they deleted were the places a person used to look.

Fivetran's own pricing page works out a company of one to two hundred people at $549.36 a month to sync four marketing sources, plus $399.73 to push two of them back out. That is $11,389 a year to move rows, and Duckle is the dual-licensed pipeline builder that does it on a box you already rent. The catch is not the hosting.

Ten people on Otter's Business tier runs $3,600 a year, and getting those transcripts out through an API means talking to sales. Google put a speech-to-text model in its own API on Wednesday at roughly thirty cents an hour of audio that hands back text with the ums already gone. The bill it deletes is the cleanup pass, not the seat.
Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
The automation has been parked since February because somebody said the CRM has to be clean first. It reads four fields and touches about three thousand records. The cleanup that actually gates it is an afternoon, and the four-week version was never going to hold anyway.

Changing one wrong number inside a PDF costs an Acrobat Pro seat at $23.99 a license a month, and cancelling after fourteen days costs you half the remaining year. GenOffice is a four-week-old Apache-2.0 desktop suite that does that job on your own machine, and its fidelity bugs are still open in public.
AI News
Amazon's own pricing example had 200,000 scanned form pages read by three different people each, every month, for $12,200 and no hiring. On September 30 that stops being something you can buy, and the reason is not that it stopped working.

Pipedream's free plan lets your agent log in to three of your tools. Unlimited is $588 a year, and letting your clients connect their own accounts starts at $1,188. OpenConnector does the same job under Apache 2.0 on a box you own, and the real bill is not the hosting.
AI News
Claude now carries one memory across chat and Cowork, and exposes it as short files you can open and correct. The catch is that the file belongs to a person, not to a company, and there is no way to publish the canonical one.

A 25-person company that wants its password vault on its own server pays Bitwarden $1,800 a year, because self-hosting is an Enterprise feature and the $4 plan is not eligible. Vaultwarden is the independent server the same official Bitwarden apps talk to, it runs on a six-dollar droplet, and it shipped on Saturday.
Foundational AI: Do's and Don'ts
The plumbing that lets an AI agent spend your company's money unattended is now a versioned spec with sixty payment companies behind it. The rule about who eats a bad purchase is not written yet, and the protocol's own documentation says so in plain language.
