description: >-
  Analog Devices' developer surface is delivered as open-source embedded
  software (libiio, pyadi-iio, no-OS drivers) and free downloadable tools
  (CodeFusion Studio). There is no metered API tier, no plan subscription, and
  no per-request fee. Commercial value flows through purchase of ADI silicon
  and evaluation hardware; the software APIs themselves are free under
  permissive open-source licenses.
notes: >-
  ADI does not run a developer SaaS API with paid tiers. The plan below records
  the de-facto offering (free open-source SDKs bundled with hardware
  purchase). Hardware part pricing is quoted via distributors (Digi-Key,
  Mouser, Arrow) and direct sales, not as an API charge.

      libiio, pyadi-iio, no-OS, and CodeFusion Studio are distributed as
      open-source software. Free to download, build, and ship; commercial value
      is in the underlying ADI silicon and evaluation boards.
