  The 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold that previously occupied this file, whose Free/Professional/
  Enterprise tiers and per-request quotas were template defaults and bore no relation to Checkly's
  actual plans.

  Checkly's published plans, read from https://www.checklyhq.com/pricing.md - a machine-readable
  markdown pricing document Checkly maintains alongside its pricing page and links from its llms.txt
  specifically so an agent can quote a price. Pricing is modular: four tiers priced independently
  across three product modules (Detect, Communicate, Resolve), plus resource add-ons and overage
  rates on Detect. Annual billing saves roughly 20%. Nothing here is metered on API requests -
  Checkly meters monitors and check runs, and the REST API is free to call within its rate limit.

  note: >-
    No plan meters REST API requests. What the plans meter is product consumption - monitors, browser
    and API check runs, RCA invocations, SMS and phone alerts. The API itself is bounded by the rate
    limit (600 requests / 60 seconds), not by a plan quota, and a 402 PaymentRequiredError is how the
    API reports that a write would exceed a plan entitlement rather than a request quota.

  status: 200
  note: >-
    Worth calling out: Checkly publishes a markdown twin of its pricing page, linked from llms.txt,
    that includes a step-by-step "How to Use This Document" quoting procedure written for an agent.
    Very few providers in the catalog publish machine-readable pricing at all.
