  Aurora Solar does not publish prices on its website - plans are quoted through
  a sales process (demo + discovery call). Aurora sells the platform primarily as
  per-user, per-month seat licenses across named tiers, billed annually, with
  higher-value capabilities (for example AutoDesigner, advanced shading, storage)
  gated to upper tiers or sold as add-ons. Aurora has also introduced a
  credit-based consumption model where individual projects are charged in credits
  (a residential design is on the order of ~220 credits, with AI/auto-modeling as
  an add-on). The API itself is not separately metered; API access is a function
  of your Aurora subscription and the API keys your tenant admin issues. All
  dollar figures below are indicative third-party estimates, NOT official Aurora
  list prices, and must be reconciled with an Aurora quote.
notes: >-
  Tier names and prices vary by source and change over time; publicly reported
  tiers have included names such as Grow / Scale / Run in addition to older
  Basic / Pro / Premium naming. Treat all amounts as unverified estimates.
  Confirm current tiers, credit rates, and add-on pricing directly with Aurora
  sales.
