If you're running a 12-person ops team in Manila, or a lean product shop in Jakarta with three Notion Custom Agents doing your weekly reporting, circle this date: 2026-05-04. Every one of those agent runs was free before that day. Then a quiet billing switch flipped, and if nobody read the changelog, the first sign of it is a workspace where every agent has stopped running mid-month. That's the kind of update this window turned up. Not flashy. The kind that breaks a workflow if nobody's watching.

Notion

Custom Agents ran free on Business and Enterprise plans through 2026-05-03. Starting the next day, every run draws down Notion Credits, priced at $10 per 1,000 credits, roughly THB 360 (฿) in Bangkok or SGD 13.50 (S$) in Singapore at today's rates. Credits pool across the whole workspace and reset each billing cycle; they don't roll over. Run out mid-cycle and every Custom Agent in the workspace pauses immediately. Scheduled runs during the gap get skipped, not queued, so they won't fire retroactively once credits are topped up. Standard AI Agents and Ask Notion stay included in the flat per-seat price. This charge is specific to Custom Agents only. Free and Plus workspaces don't have Custom Agents at all, so the bill only lands on teams already paying for Business or Enterprise.

I think this is a fair trade if your team runs Custom Agents hard enough to justify the metering. It's a nasty surprise for the team that turned one on eight months ago and never checked the credits page since.

On 2026-07-01, Notion shipped version 3.6. The headline is External Agents. Claude and Cursor are the first two brought directly into a shared Notion UI, where a team can assign them tasks from a board and @-mention them like a teammate. More integrations are planned. The same release adds an HTML block that runs HTML, CSS, and JavaScript inside a page. Notion's own examples are ROI calculators, quizzes, and org charts, and Notion AI can generate the block's contents from a prompt. It renders on every plan, including Free. Meeting Notes now attaches speaker labels, and Notion Agents can read and write Excel, PowerPoint, and Word files, not just Notion-native content.

Put together: a Southeast Asian team on Business with Custom Agents already running needs to check its credit balance now, since the free period closed over three months before this write-up. A team not yet on Custom Agents gets the HTML block and External Agents at no extra charge on top of its existing plan.

Multiplier

On 2026-04-30, Multiplier launched Global Payroll Payments, built on payments infrastructure from Navro, a London-based payments-curation platform. The new layer handles gross-to-net calculation, local tax deductions, and multi-currency disbursement inside one flow. It runs across the 150+ countries where Multiplier already handles Employer of Record and payroll work, a footprint that covers most of Multiplier's Southeast Asian markets. The press announcement didn't disclose a separate price for the Navro-powered payments layer. Multiplier's baseline EOR rate stays a flat $400 per employee per month, about MYR 1,880 (RM) for a Kuala Lumpur hire or PHP 23,200 (₱) for one in Manila. No filing or release found in this search names a distinct fee for Global Payroll Payments itself.

That silence bugs me. A company that already publishes a flat EOR rate in dollars shouldn't go quiet the moment a new payments layer might carry its own fee. Treat this as an open question for any buyer evaluating it, not a confirmed free inclusion.

Duitku

Duitku's public API changelog logged a QRIS callback change in June 2026 (day not specified in the documentation). The payment callback now returns customerName and issuer account info, alongside the settlementDate and issuerCode fields it already sent. For a merchant reconciling QRIS payments against orders, that's the difference between matching a payment by amount and timestamp alone and matching it to a named payer. It's a small change. I'd argue it's the most useful one in this whole roundup, because it fixes an actual afternoon of manual reconciliation work instead of adding a feature nobody asked for.

An earlier 2026 change, logged for April, added an HMAC-based signature option and marked the older MD5 and SHA256 signature methods obsolete. Both are still functional as of this writing, but merchants integrated against the old scheme should plan to migrate off. No subscription or per-transaction pricing changes turned up for Duitku this window.

Coverage note

All three updates above carry an exact date. Notion's comes from an official release page or help-center article, Multiplier's from a PR Newswire-syndicated release, and Duitku's from a dated entry in the vendor's own API changelog.

Three other candidates got dropped from this window. Sapo and KiotViet, the two Vietnamese POS and e-commerce vendors this tracker planned to lead with, were both unreachable through this network's egress proxy at research time; sapo.vn and kiotviet.vn wouldn't load directly. Search-indexed snippets did surface dated Sapo items, including an Offline Event-to-Conversion-API sync and a Sapo Tax filing feature, both dated to Q1 2026, plus a KiotViet e-invoice bundling change. Every one of those predates this 30-60 day window by two to five months, so none of them qualified as current. StoreHub's update blog was likewise unreachable, and the only dated QuickBooks Online integration item the search index returned for StoreHub traced back to a 2015 post, not 2026. HitPay's Borderless QR feature is real and well-documented, but it launched 2026-01-28, outside this window by more than six months. It stays out today, though it may be worth a look-back entry of its own.

Read one line here and make it Notion's May 4 credit switch. A feature that was free for months just started metering by the run, and the workspace where nobody checks the credits page finds out mid-quarter, not on the day the pricing model changed.
