  Basis Theory publishes packaged plans plus usage. A free tier is available to
  get started. The Starter plan is a flat monthly fee that bundles a
  production-ready PCI Level 1 environment with an included allotment of
  monthly active tokens, after which usage is metered. The Enterprise plan is
  custom-quoted and adds PII/PHI compliance, unlimited monthly interactions per
  token, agentic enrollments, custom log retention and payload sizing, uptime
  guarantees, and white-glove support. A Scale tier is referenced between
  Starter and Enterprise. Token, Proxy, Reactor, 3DS, and Webhook APIs are
  included across paid plans; billing is anchored on monthly active tokens.
notes: >-
  Prices captured from the public basistheory.com/pricing page; the Scale tier
  details and overage rates are not fully published and should be confirmed
  with Basis Theory sales during reconciliation.
