  finding: >-
    Abstract has NO company-wide pricing page any more. https://www.abstractapi.com/pricing
    returns HTTP 404 (a Webflow "Page Not Found" body) as of 2026-08-29, and the
    "PRICING" item in the product-page navigation now links to
    https://app.abstractapi.com/users/signup?target=/api/<product>/pricing/select — i.e.
    the tier selector sits behind account creation. The public pricing tables that remain
    are embedded per product, in a "Simple and transparent pricing" section on each
    /api/<product> marketing page.

structure:
  model: per-product
  note: >-
    Each of Abstract's fifteen APIs is bought separately with its own key, its own
    quota and its own bill. The five tier NAMES and the three paid price points are
    shared across products; the included quota and the free-tier rate ceiling are NOT.

    features:
      - full API response
    note: >-
      The free tier is the clearest example of per-product variance: 100 requests at
      3 req/s on Email Validation versus 1,000 requests at 1 req/s on IP Geolocation.
      A single "Abstract free tier" number does not exist.

        No per-unit overage price is published. Higher volume is bought by moving the
        plan's volume slider (Email Validation offers 60k / 180k / 360k / 600k /
        1.8M requests per year; IP Geolocation offers 200k / 500k / 1M / 1.5M / 3.5M
        requests per month). The prices attached to each slider step are not shown
        before signup.
