supersedes: The 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that invented a Free/Professional/Enterprise ladder with
  a 1,000-request free quota and 10 rpm limits. None of that was published by Benchmark. It is replaced
  here by what the pricing page actually says.
description: Benchmark Mineral Intelligence publishes NO prices. Subscriptions are assembled as bespoke
  packages and every tier routes to a sales conversation. The tiers below are named on the plans page
  but carry no monetary figures, so price, currency and billing period are recorded null rather than guessed.

  note: Listed as a separate tool offering; the plans page does not state which tiers include it or what
    it costs.
quotas:
  published: false
  note: No request quota, seat-based API cap or overage rate is published anywhere.
purchase_path:
- step: Contact / book a demo
  url: https://www.benchmarkminerals.com/book-a-demo
- step: Bespoke proposal from sales
gaps:
- issue: no price is published at any tier
  impact: a buyer cannot budget, and an agent cannot compare Benchmark to a competitor without a sales
    call
- issue: API entitlement per tier is unstated
  impact: a developer cannot tell from the pricing page whether their subscription includes API access
