Summary

Ngrok has implemented several pricing changes aimed at making its infrastructure services more cost-effective and aligned with actual usage, benefiting most users. Key changes include a significant reduction in Traffic Processing Unit (TPU) pricing, from $1 to $0.10 per 100,000 units, making it more affordable to implement robust protections like blocking bots and enforcing authentication. Custom domains will now only incur charges during active traffic, eliminating costs for idle domains, which is advantageous for those with variable or seasonal traffic patterns. The adjustment to Endpoint Pooling will result in billing for each active endpoint separately, though idle endpoints remain free, impacting a small fraction of heavy users. These changes reflect ngrok's commitment to providing infrastructure that supports developers' needs in production environments without excessive costs, with the company open to feedback and adjustments as necessary.
