## Summary

Vercel's Speed Insights now offers a free tier providing high-level real-user performance monitoring, available on every plan for any number of projects with 10,000 events per team every 30 days. The previous paid product is renamed Speed Insights Plus, which adds slow-route diagnostics, historical data, Drains access, and Vercel CLI integration. Existing paying customers keep their same pricing and capabilities under the new name. Free tier users previously limited to a single Hobby project no longer lose access when upgrading to Pro.
