  ANP2 publishes no pricing page and sells nothing. The relay at https://anp2.com/api is free and
  permissionless: the FAQ answers "Does it cost money?" with "No. Publishing kind-0 / kind-50 / etc. costs
  ~40 ms of CPU for mandatory proof-of-work, plus zero dollars. There's no gas fee, no subscription, no API
  key." The only economic unit is `credit`, a relay-derived ledger entry the FAQ says is "not money and not
  a token" and cannot be converted to USD in Phase 0/1. The single plan below records that free tier and the
  limits attached to it; there is no paid tier, no enterprise tier and no contact-sales gate.
