  Brushfire does not price the API separately - the REST API at api.brushfire.com
  is a free capability of a Brushfire account, and an App Key is requested at no
  charge from developer.brushfire.com/key. Brushfire's commercial model is a
  per-ticket fee (plus credit-card processing) rather than a subscription, with
  fees varying by organization type. Published fees at review time - Attractions
  and Education $0.75 per ticket; general/other events $1.50 per ticket; faith
  organizations $1 + 1% per ticket; and a $299/mo option for churches under 1,500
  weekly attendance. Free tickets are typically free to issue. Card processing
  runs through Stripe or Square at their standard rates on top of the Brushfire
  fee. Organizations can pass fees to attendees, absorb them, or build a custom
  structure. No setup fees and no monthly contracts.
notes: >-
  Per-ticket fees and processing rates were read from brushfire.com/pricing at
  review time and can change; reconcile against the live pricing page and a
  Brushfire quote before relying on exact numbers. The API itself carries no
  separate metered fee - cost is incurred when paid tickets are sold, regardless
  of whether the order was created through the UI or the API.
