What changed
From September 1, 2026, Periskope raises Starter monthly pricing from $20 to $25 per license and Pro monthly pricing from $30 to $35. Annual Starter remains $15 per license per month and annual Pro remains $25. Each paid Pro and Enterprise license now includes 5,000 AI credits, and teams can buy a shared 10,000-credit top-up for $25. Pro customers can also buy 25 additional active automation rules for $50 per month. Existing annual customers keep their current annual pricing; customers under signed agreements keep existing terms until renewal.
Why it matters
The pricing design is a concrete example of AI SaaS splitting predictable platform access from variable-cost AI consumption. Periskope is not abandoning seat pricing; instead it is raising monthly seat rates while layering usage credits on top for agents, summaries, translations, reporting and workflow actions. That makes the plan easier to compare with other emerging hybrid models and gives builders a useful packaging pattern when AI costs are too variable to absorb inside an unlimited seat.
Monthly seats get more expensive, annual seats do not
Periskope is using the September change to widen the gap between monthly and annual commitment. Starter monthly moves from $20 to $25 and Pro monthly from $30 to $35, while the annual equivalents stay at $15 and $25 per license per month.
AI becomes a separately metered layer
Every paid Pro and Enterprise license now includes 5,000 AI credits for features such as agents, summaries, response generation, flagging, translation, reporting and external-system workflows. Teams that need more can buy 10,000-credit packs for $25, shared across the workspace.
Automation capacity can also be purchased independently
Pro customers can buy 25 additional active automation rules for $50 per month rather than adding another user license merely to expand workflow capacity. That further separates consumption and operational limits from the base seat count.
Existing contracts soften the migration
Annual customers do not see a base-price change. Customers with an active MSA or signed order form retain current pricing and terms until renewal, reducing the immediate disruption for contracted teams.
