Bitwarden is one of the more likable tech companies. It offers a great password manager for free, charges modestly for its paid version, and has mostly stayed in its lane with its focus on security products. So it's disappointing that it isn't being more transparent about the first price hike in its 10-year history. Bitwarden's Premium version now costs $20 per year, up from $10 per year previously.

Nintendo may be about to " follow in Sony and Microsoft's footsteps " and announce a Switch 2 price hike, according to a report from video game consumer insights firm Niko Partners.

The two least expensive tiers of Magic Key annual passes Imagine and Enchant have been available since August.

The German business recently sent an email to customers of its virtual private server (VPS) service, notifying them that an extra fee would be levied as of October 30. This charge comprises a monthly fee of £5 (excluding VAT) per Plesk license, which may not seem like much, but because each server a customer operates has its own Plesk license, the extra costs would soon mount up for anyone running more than a few server instances.
