`Vercel` stops charging for WAF-mitigated traffic

Blocked bots no longer turn into surprise CDN bills. This directly lowers the risk of scrapers, credential stuffing, and abused API endpoints on small apps.

[ KEY POINTS ]

Traffic denied, challenged, or rate-limited by Vercel Firewall now waives CDN Requests and Fast Data Transfer charges.
DDoS mitigation was already unlimited and free; this change covers non-DDoS abuse handled by custom rules, managed rules, and rate limits.
The waiver applies automatically to every project using Vercel Firewall; no config change or migration required.
Product pages, login routes, and expensive API endpoints are the obvious places to add stricter rules now.

`Vercel` Adds Consolidated GitHub Commit Status for Monorepos
50radar
Branch protection gets cleaner for multi-project repos. One GitHub status can replace per-project noise, useful if Vercel monorepos have been making PR checks messy.
- Monorepos can opt into one consolidated commit status on GitHub PRs instead of separate statuses for every Vercel project.
- Branch protection can be configured once in GitHub; required Vercel projects are then managed from each project’s settings.
- Best fit is repos with many deploy targets. Single-app repos gain little beyond a cleaner checks list.

`Bitwarden` Quietly Reworks Pricing and Free Messaging

BitwardenPassword manager SaaS — open-source vault for users and teams
Premium pricing doubled while the “Always free” promise disappeared from site copy. Treat critical SaaS promises as mutable, especially after leadership changes.
- Premium moved to 2x pricing. Small in dollars, but password management is sticky infrastructure.
- The “Always free” wording was removed through website and content edits, not a big launch announcement.
- Long-time CEO Michael Crandell shifted to an advisory role in February; new M&A background raises acquisition-risk sensitivity.

`RevenueCat` Adds Flexible Discounts for Web Billing

RevenueCatSubscription billing infra — unified app and web subscriptions
Web subscriptions can now use percentage discounts, promo codes, and win-back offers. Useful for churn recovery and price testing without wiring discount logic yourself.
- Percentage-off discounts and promo codes now apply to RevenueCat web subscribers, reducing custom billing work.
- Win-back offers target cancelled or lapsed users. That gives churn recovery a built-in path instead of ad hoc email-only campaigns.
- The scope is web billing, not App Store pricing. Best fit is a paid web checkout where discount tests can move quickly.
