  Chartmetric's Developer API is sold through a sales-led model layered on top
  of a Chartmetric subscription. Published third-party references place entry
  API access around $350 per user per month with a 1 request-per-second limit,
  scaling to higher request rates and seats under negotiated agreements. Team
  Access, Data Shares (Snowflake, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage), the MCP
  server, and customized services are quoted directly by Chartmetric. Exact,
  current pricing is not published on a self-serve page and is not reconciled
  in this artifact.
notes: >-
  Pricing figures here are drawn from third-party listings and may be out of
  date. Confirm current API tiers, seat pricing, request-rate ceilings, and
  data-share costs directly with Chartmetric sales during reconciliation.
