docs/evaluate/temporal-cloud/pricing.mdx:415

  • Adding GCP here contradicts the surrounding FAQ: line 413 describes both bullets as AWS purchase methods, while line 418 still says GCP purchases require contacting Sales. Consolidate this into one marketplace answer so the documented GCP purchase path is unambiguous.
- Pay-As-You-Go available from [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-xx2x66m6fp2lo) and [GCP Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/temporal-public/temporal-cloud-pay-as-you-go)

docs/evaluate/temporal-cloud/pricing.mdx:409

  • Fix the exaple typo and the sentence fragment below it; as written, this customer-facing minimum-cost explanation is difficult to parse.
The Developer plan starts at $0/month. This means you only pay for what you use. For exaple, running a test workflow with 10,000 Actions would cost 10,000 x $50 Per Million Actions= $0.50 + 10% support = $0.55
Tiers with included Actions/Storage, consumption in excess of your plan's allocations are billed on a consumption basis.

docs/evaluate/temporal-cloud/pricing.mdx:50

  • justf makes the new Developer pricing statement unreadable. State the no-base-fee percentage directly.

@brianmacdonald-temporal brianmacdonald-temporal changed the title Update pricing.mdx v7 Pricing documentation update Sep 4, 2026
Copy-level fixes only. No pricing facts, rates, or plan details changed.

- Plan table: drop the stray "justf" from the Developer Plan Pricing cell
- Plan table: match the "SAML included" and "SCIM (Add-on)" wording already
  used in the other three columns
- Action pricing: "idscounts" -> "discounts", and put the two sentences on
  separate lines
- Minimum-cost FAQ: "exaple" -> "example", add the missing terminal period,
  capitalize Workflow, and turn the trailing fragment into a sentence
- Homepage CTA: free sign-up credits are $150, not $1000
- Actions pricing: volume discounts apply on Business and above only, and
  Developer is billed a flat $50 per million Actions. Scope the tier table,
  state the Developer rate, and name the plan in the worked example so a
  Developer reader can't mis-calculate their bill
- Overview: qualify the discount claim, and fix the plan summary left
  dangling when the SAML/SCIM mention was dropped
- SAML: the feature is now included on all four plans, so replace the
  "paid feature" note and drop "Charges apply." from the description
- Marketplace FAQ: GCP Marketplace is fully self-serve Pay-As-You-Go, so
  rewrite the answer to cover both marketplaces symmetrically instead of
  sending GCP buyers to Sales

Also fixes "commitments credits" and a sentence fragment in the
payment-methods answer.
Greater of $500 or 10% ⨉ $6,000 = $600, so $600.
```

'Commitment Pricing ***************************' should use sentence-style capitalization.

You can also purchase Temporal Cloud commitments credits through [AWS Marketplace](https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-xx2x66m6fp2lo) and [GCP Marketplace](https://console.cloud.google.com/marketplace/product/temporal-public/temporal-cloud-pay-as-you-go).

docs/evaluate/temporal-cloud/pricing.mdx:112

  • The new restriction of volume discounts to Business and higher plans leaves three search-result descriptions promising “volume discounts” without that qualification: this page at line 5, docs/evaluate/temporal-cloud/actions.mdx:5-7, and docs/cloud/billing-and-usage/actions-usage.mdx:4-6. Update those descriptions so Developer-plan readers are not shown an outdated pricing claim.
The Developer plan is billed at &#36;50 per million Actions at every volume.
On the Business, Enterprise, and Mission Critical plans, you gain progressive volume discounts as you scale.

- With Pay-As-You-Go, you are invoiced each calendar month based on your consumption.
Pay-As-You-Go pricing automatically applies volume prices as your Actions scale.
On the Business plan and above, Pay-As-You-Go pricing automatically applies volume prices as your Actions scale.

P1 Badge Replace screenshots that still advertise Essentials

On the Billing Center page, docs/cloud/billing-and-usage/billing.mdx embeds billing-plans.png at line 109 and billing-cancel.png at line 132; both still show the discontinued Essentials plan at $100/month, its included allocations, and SAML as a Business add-on. Readers therefore see pricing that directly contradicts this new Developer-plan table, so replace or recapture both screenshots as part of the launch update.

P2 Badge Recalculate the workload estimates for Developer pricing

For Developer-plan users, the unchanged estimates later in this page no longer follow the newly documented flat rate: 399M Actions (within the table's < 400M Large range) cost $19,950 before the 10% support charge, or $21,945 total, rather than < $15K, even before Storage. The Medium range similarly exceeds its < $2K bound near 40M Actions. Recalculate these rows or explicitly scope them to a plan whose rates produce the stated totals.
