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.

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.

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.

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.

A subscription editing agency charges $999 a month for one or two short videos a week, and its intake form still asks you to supply the raw footage. MoneyPrinterTurbo builds the whole thing from one sentence, MIT licensed, and Saturday's release taught it to generate the footage instead of borrowing it.

Microsoft 365 Copilot runs $18 a user a month on an annual commitment, on top of the Microsoft 365 licence you already pay for, and what it hands back is a draft somebody still has to open and finish. OpenWorker is an MIT-licensed desktop app that connects to the same inbox, calendar and CRM and is built around finishing the job instead.

Intercom charges 99 cents every time its AI resolves a conversation, and it counts a resolution even when the bot gives up and hands the customer to a human. Chatwoot is the MIT-licensed desk that shipped a release overnight, and the thing it actually deletes is the meter, not the seat.
AI News
Every build-it-yourself piece in this archive priced the box at twelve to twenty dollars a month. Memory is up as much as 500 percent in twelve months because AI data centers bought the supply, hosting providers have raised prices three times this year, and the build math still wins. Just not on every project it used to.

Twenty-five people who need to open one internal tool costs $6,000 a year on Power Apps Premium. ToolJet builds the same screen on a server you rent, and the free self-hosted build stops at exactly two apps and two builders, which is in the licensing docs and not in the README.

Ten people on Superhuman and Linear alone costs $5,880 a year, and all it buys is an inbox and a task board. Macro does email, chat, docs, tasks, calls and CRM out of one app for $40 a seat, and it moved to the AGPL in May, which means the escape hatch is written into the license.
Git Articles
A ten-person sales team on Salesforce list pricing pays about $21,000 a year, and the thing they are actually renting is not the software. It is the shape of their own business. Twenty puts that shape in a repository you own, and it shipped four releases in two days.
Git Articles
A Figma Full seat costs $16 a month for every person allowed to make something instead of just look at it, and the queue behind the one person who has it is worse than the bill. Open Design is an Apache-2.0 desktop app that hands the making part to a coding agent you already pay for, and it shipped again yesterday.
