How we decide

A change counts only if it passes one of four tests.

  1. 1
    Pay · What you pay
    e.g. A plan goes from $20 to $30/mo
  2. 2
    Get · What you get
    e.g. Free messages drop from 40 to 20/day
  3. 3
    Allowed · What you're allowed to do
    e.g. Password sharing now costs extra
  4. 4
    Continue · Whether you can continue
    e.g. A desktop app is retired
