Hi I’m Keith, Buildkite CEO.

You caught us! Well spotted.

We had such little success with the $9 plan. When people upgraded, they generally chose the more expensive option. Knowing this, we removed it to see what happens to upgrade rates. We might even increase the free offering to balance it out, not sure yet.

Pricing is dark art of science, economics, research and “making shit up”. I dunno if this iteration is any better, but we’ll see!
