  BigChange is sold as a SaaS subscription to its field service / job management
  platform, priced primarily per user (mobile workforce / office user) and per
  tracked vehicle, typically on an annual contract with implementation and training.
  Exact list prices are not published and vary by seat count, vehicles, modules, and
  term - they are quoted by BigChange sales. API access itself is offered on a free
  "Essentials" tier that BigChange states covers over 90% of typical customer API
  usage, with higher usage available on paid/enterprise terms. All figures below are
  MODELED from BigChange's public marketing pages and are not reconciled to a rate
  card.
notes: >-
  Verify current platform subscription pricing and API tier limits directly with
  BigChange sales during reconciliation. The API is an entitlement of a BigChange
  platform subscription (you need a BigChange account and a Customer-Id); it is not
  sold as a standalone metered API product.
