name: Aethero Altus plans and pricing
note: >-
  Aethero publishes pricing for exactly one product line — Altus, its orbital compute service — on the
  public Altus page. The hardware (NxA-ECM, NxN-ECM, 0x1-ECM) and the platforms (Titan, Phobos) carry no
  published price. There is no self-serve signup, no API-metered price list, and no machine-readable
  pricing endpoint; the tiers below are read verbatim from the Altus page prose.
