  Apiary's published plans, read from apiary.io/plans on 2026-09-02. Apiary names
  three tiers and publishes their feature and collaborator limits in full, but
  publishes NO PRICE for any of them — there is no figure, no currency and no
  billing period anywhere on the plans page. Pricing is obtained by contacting
  Apiary/Oracle.
note: >-
  THIS FILE REPLACES A SCAFFOLD. The previous revision (method: generated,
  2026-05-04) invented a free/professional/enterprise ladder with 1,000 and 100,000
  request monthly quotas and per-minute rate entries. Apiary does not meter its plans
  by API request at all — it meters them by collaborators per API Project, team
  membership and feature access. Those invented quotas have been removed rather than
  corrected, because there was nothing to correct them to.

metering_model:
  basis: seats-and-features
  note: >-
    Apiary does not meter or price by API call. The commercial axes are collaborators
    per API Project, team membership, read-only viewers, and access to features
    (private projects, embed, style guide, GitHub Enterprise). The one documented
    request-rate ceiling in the product — the Mock Server's 120/5000 per minute —
    is not attached to a plan; see rate-limits/apiary-rate-limits.yml.
