Pricing page: ashbyhq.com/pricing. Prices last checked Oct 16, 2026. Prices read from the company-size and payment-term selectors in the official pricing page HTML (monthly term selected); PricingSaaS shows $360/mo billed annually for the 11-25 band, consistent with the 10% annual discount. PricingSaaS lists no price changes (only a 2026-10 Advanced Scheduling feature addition); a web search for past hikes could not be run (search budget exhausted), so earlier history is unverified.
