  Apollo's published plans, replacing the 2026-05-04 scaffold that carried invented prices and quotas. Prices
  and tier names are read from the machine-readable schema.org OfferCatalog Apollo embeds in
  https://www.apollo.io/pricing; per-tier API rate limits come from the rate-limits reference; the credit
  model comes from the API pricing reference. Apollo does NOT sell API access as a separate product — API
  access rides on the platform plan, and consumption is metered in CREDITS rather than in API calls. The
  human-readable pricing table itself is JS-rendered, so seat counts, included credit allowances and annual
  discounts are not recorded here; the JSON-LD is the only machine-readable pricing Apollo serves.

    note: >-
      The rate-limits reference calls this fourth tier "Organization" while the pricing JSON-LD calls it
      "Enterprise". Both names are Apollo's own; recorded here as one tier because both describe the top
      contact-for-pricing plan.
