When the tools we review change their pricing, their limits or their features, we write up what happened and what it actually means for a one-person business. Sourced from official changelogs and announcements, never from aggregators.
We publish here only when a tool actually changes something that affects you — not on a schedule, and not to keep a feed warm. Quiet weeks mean nothing worth your attention happened. Subscribe by RSS to catch them without checking back.
Marketing Hub accounts can now set a maximum number of marketing contacts, which stops an accidental jump to a pricier tier that HubSpot won't undo until renewal. The trade: contacts over the cap can't be marketed to.

Notion is retiring its email client and folding email into its AI agents. The export deadline is a day before the shutdown, reminders don't transfer, and anyone choosing Notion as a CRM right now is buying a product mid-rebuild.
Premium seats cost five times a Standard seat and remove the five-hour usage limit. It is almost certainly not for you — but the same week free chats went unlimited, the top of the ladder got a lot more expensive, and that shape is worth understanding.
OpenAI made GPT-5.6 Luna the default for free users, removed the cap on text conversations, and added a Think button for harder questions. The weakest link in the $0 solopreneur stack just got considerably stronger.
Anthropic published its position on open-weights models, pushing back on the idea that it wants them restricted. The policy fight is above our pay grade; the consequence isn't.
Anthropic released Claude Opus 5 with frontier-adjacent capability at roughly half the cost of its top model. For a one-person business, the price curve is the story, not the leaderboard.
Looking for the longer analysis rather than what just changed? That lives in the guides.
