Changelog

New tools, improvements, and fixes on ConvertCrunch.

October 16, 2026

Fixed

Descript billing and Make budget assumptions clarified

Labeled Descript's $24 Creator rate as annual billing for one person and showed the $35 monthly alternative. Identified the Make preset as an editable credits budget instead of a verified subscription quote. Added official pricing links and usage guidance. Preset totals are unchanged; this was a targeted review, not a complete subscription audit.

October 15, 2026

Fixed

Current Cursor plan and extra usage costs clarified

Replaced legacy Cursor Pro in the developer stack and tool finder with the current $30 monthly Premium plan. Explained separate third-party model charges and legacy subscriber plans. The developer template now totals $80 monthly before extra usage and tax. This was a targeted Cursor review; broader subscription verification remains incomplete.

October 14, 2026

Updated

Gemini 4 Argon pricing added

Added Google's October 13 Gemini 4 Argon release to the model comparison and token estimator. Included introductory API prices through November 30, December 1 standard rates, thinking-token billing and the unified input/output context window. Other model verification dates retain their actual review scope.

October 13, 2026

Updated

Mistral Large 4 pricing and Notion billing clarified

Added Mistral Large 4 to the model comparison and token estimator with its public-preview status, 1M context window, promotional API rates and regular-price guidance. Kept Large 3 as a separate model. Labeled the stack calculator's $10 Notion Plus price as annual billing for one member. Provider-wide pricing and subscription reviews remain incomplete where source details could not be verified.

October 12, 2026

Updated

Claude and Gemini API pricing refreshed

Added Claude Haiku 5.5 with its higher full-request rate above 100,000 input tokens. Updated Sonnet 5.5 cache-read guidance and replaced the deprecated Gemini 3.5 Flash token-counter option with Gemini 3.6 Flash at its current promotional rate. Provider sources were checked; the broader comparison review remains due for an inaccessible DeepSeek source and Mistral catalogue follow-up.

October 11, 2026

Fixed

Early music file selections are preserved

Stopped the music converter's initial setup from clearing a file selected while the page finishes loading. Changing conversion modes and carrying scores between tools still reset the appropriate state.

Improved

MIDI score previews and broader NetCDF conversion

Added sheet music and synthesized playback for the opening eight bars of converted MIDI scores, with audio limited to 30 seconds. Expanded NetCDF-to-CSV conversion to grouped and compressed NetCDF-4 files, preserved missing-cell fill values, and added clearer format and precision errors.

October 10, 2026

Fixed

Game optimizer controls have accessible labels

Connected the FPS, GPU tier, and resolution labels to their dropdowns so screen-reader users can identify each setting. Graphics recommendations are unchanged.

October 8, 2026

Improved

Philippines GWA guidance uses university sources

Removed universal percentage equivalents and the unsupported US GPA conversion. Added a worked GWA example, course-inclusion guidance, and UP Diliman sources. Clarified that an estimated GWA does not establish honors eligibility.

October 7, 2026

Improved

INR converter accepts formatted amounts

Added support for pasted rupee amounts with Indian or international comma grouping. Invalid and out-of-range amounts now show a clear error instead of blank wording or stale copy controls. Clarified input and cheque guidance.

October 5, 2026

Updated

Gemini 2.5 access guidance corrected

Clarified that Gemini 2.5 Pro API access is limited to prior active users and linked Google's guidance for new projects. Rechecked provider pricing for the weekly AI comparison and cost-tool reviews; tracked prices remain unchanged.

October 3, 2026

Updated

Creator tool assumptions clarified

Labeled video hooks and hashtag banks as editorial starting points, removed retention and reach promises, and clarified that the AI Slop score reviews writing quality rather than determining AI authorship. Added official guidance and source links.

October 2, 2026

Updated

GPT-6.1 Sol and tax penalty rate refreshed

Added GPT-6.1 Sol to AI model comparison and cost tools with official standard and long-context prices. Updated the simplified tax penalty estimate to the IRS fourth-quarter 2026 rate of 7% and clarified its use of a single rate across modeled periods.
