Introducing Currents' New Pricing

Cheaper rates, bigger volume discounts, a new self-serve Business plan, and fairer overage. Here's what changed and why.

Introducing Currents' New Pricing

TL;DR

  • Most teams will see their bill go down, or get more for what they already pay.
  • On-demand fees go down.
  • All teams get 50 seats.
  • A new self-serve Business plan includes security features like SSO and SCIM, with a simpler purchase process.

We redesigned our pricing. The short version: cheaper rates, user limits went up, and you can now get enterprise features like SSO without talking to sales.

Check out the new pricing page for the full breakdown.

Why we changed pricing

Three things kept coming up in conversations with customers and in our own planning.

Test suites are growing fast. AI-assisted development makes writing tests cheaper than ever. Teams that used to add a handful of tests per sprint are now generating dozens. That's a good thing. Our pricing shouldn't punish you for having better coverage. We wanted rates and overage that scale with you instead of against you.

Procurement gets in the way. We've seen teams that needed SSO or SCIM get stuck in a procurement process that took weeks. That's time we'd rather spend building the product, and time you'd rather spend shipping. So we built a self-serve option for those features.

User limits were too low. Capping plans at 10 users and charging for extras meant the person buying Currents had to worry about seat management on top of everything else. That's friction we didn't need to create.

What changed

The Team plan is now Scale

Same core product, new name, lower price. Most tiers on the Scale plan are cheaper than its equivalent on the old Team plan, and volume discounts get bigger as you move up.

We also added higher tiers. The old Team plan topped out at 150K tests per month. Scale goes up to 500K (with 200K, 300K, 400K, and 500K tiers) all available through self-serve. If your test suite is growing, you don't need to call us to keep up.

A new Business plan, no sales call required

The new Business plan gives you SSO, SCIM, and other enterprise features on a self-serve plan. No procurement process, no waiting for a custom quote.

If your company also needs a custom contract or dedicated support on Slack, you can still reach out for an Enterprise plan.

50 users included, guest users are free

Both Scale and Business plans now include 50 users. The old Team plan included 10 and charged extra to go up to 30. That limit blocked a lot of teams from adding the people who actually needed access.

Read-only guest users (people who just need to view dashboards and results) are now free and unlimited. If someone only needs to check test results, they shouldn't cost you a seat.

Overage that matches your base rate

On the old plan, overage cost more per test than what you were already paying. That meant a busy month felt like a penalty.

Now, overage is billed at the same per-test rate as your plan. If you go over your limit, you pay the same rate for those extra tests. This also means you don't need to stress about precisely predicting your test volume when picking a tier. Going over isn't more expensive per test, so there's no penalty for underestimating.

And if you're consistently hitting overage, you can upgrade your plan mid-cycle. The overage recalculates immediately against the new tier's limit, at the new (cheaper) per-test rate from the volume discount.

This matters especially as AI-assisted testing drives more test volume. You shouldn't have to worry about your bill spiking just because your team wrote more tests this month.

Spend control, if you want a hard ceiling

Predictable overage rates help, but some teams need a firm upper bound. The Usage & Spend Control section lets organization admins set both. A usage alert threshold emails admins when you cross a percentage of your plan limit (90% by default), so a busy month is something you find out about early rather than on the invoice. An optional extra usage cap sets a hard stop: with a 10K plan limit and a 50% cap, recording pauses after 15,000 tests, and setting the cap to 0% stops you at the plan limit exactly. When the cap is hit, Currents emails your admins and pauses recording. Your CI pipelines and test runners keep running, and recording resumes when the usage cycle resets, or when you raise the cap or upgrade the plan.

Yearly plans now have a yearly usage pool

Before, a yearly plan with a 10K/month limit still enforced that limit every month. One spike in January meant overage charges, even if you were under the limit every other month.

Now, yearly plans pool your usage for the whole year. A 10K/month plan becomes 120K tests for the year. Use 15K in January and 5K in February. It evens out. This is better for teams with seasonal releases, bursty CI activity, or test suites that grow over the year.

We also increased the yearly discount from 1 month free to 2 months free. Combined with the lower rates and the yearly usage pool, annual plans are a much better deal than before.

If you're an existing customer

All Team customers are being automatically moved to the new Scale plan. You don't need to do anything. Your rates will be lower and your user limit goes up to 50.
