What changed

Two real updates today out of nine raw page diffs. Cloudflare's plans page replaced "TBD (free during beta)" for its data pipeline with published prices, now under the new Basin name: SQL transforms cost $0.04 per GB after 50 GB a month, and delivering data costs $0.03 per GB for JSON or $0.06 per GB for Parquet and Iceberg, with new catalog and query charges alongside. Audible's plans page added a limited-time offer of $99 for a year of Premium, against regular annual prices of $149.50 and $229.50. Squarespace and Tinder flipped back to the same page versions we saw on Oct 13, and Grammarly, PayPal, Cash App, Wix, and Mailchimp changes were wording, email obfuscation, formatting, localized pricing, and marketing copy, not real policy or price changes.
