note: >-
  Cardlytics publishes no plans, tiers, or list prices for any of its APIs, and
  serves no pricing page — https://www.cardlytics.com/pricing returns 404.
  Access to every API family is enterprise, contract-first and relationship-
  gated: the advertiser getting-started guide ends with "Contact your Cardlytics
  representative to begin your integration journey today!", and the publisher
  sandbox guide states that a partner must "reach out to your assigned account
  manager or integration consultant" before access can be provisioned. Credentials
  (OAuth client id/secret, signed mTLS client certificates, SDK applicationId and
  secretKey) are issued by Cardlytics staff, never self-serve. plan_count: 0 is
  the finding, not a gap in the probe.
commercial_model:
  buyers:
  - advertisers and advertiser partners (campaign spend, priced per campaign pricing model)
  - publishers / financial institutions (revenue share on the rewards program)
  pricing_surface_in_api: >-
    The Campaign Build API exposes PricingModels as first-class objects
    (/v6/accounts/{accountId}/PricingModels), i.e. campaign price types are
    negotiated commercial data inside the platform rather than a published
    API price list. The August 2025 changelog records the end-of-life of the
    Cost per Engagement (CPE) price type, confirming price types are a managed,
    versioned product surface.
  public_company: 'NASDAQ: CDLX — pricing and take-rate detail is disclosed in SEC filings, not on the developer surface.'
