Changelog
What’s new in Estimating by KnowledgeBricks. Most recent first.
May 2026
Section titled “May 2026”May 19
Section titled “May 19”Enterprise tier — A dedicated Enterprise plan is now visible on the pricing page, alongside Support, Advisor, and Principal. It covers volume licensing, SSO/SAML, a dedicated account contact, and an SLA. Contact us to discuss your team’s requirements.
Current plan indicator — The pricing page now highlights your active subscription and prevents re-selecting it. Upgrading or downgrading is still one click away on the other tiers.
Trial eligibility enforced — The 3-day free trial is now correctly limited to first-time subscribers. Customers upgrading between paid plans go directly to billing without an unwanted trial.
Homepage refresh — Updated hero description focused on who the platform is built for, a new “How it works” section (01 Ask → 02 Get a practitioner answer → 03 Apply), and a direct link to pricing from the hero.
Security page — New /security/ page covering infrastructure (Vercel SOC 2 Type II), authentication (Clerk SOC 2 Type II), data storage (Supabase AES-256), AI query handling (Anthropic — queries not used for training), payment processing (Stripe PCI Level 1), and vulnerability disclosure contact.
Trust signals on pricing — Pricing page now shows disciplines covered, data-never-trained-on policy, SOC 2 infrastructure, and 3-day trial availability above the plan cards.
Security in navigation — Security page linked from the header More menu and the site footer.
