  Chromatic is billed by snapshots, not by API calls. A snapshot is one captured
  image of one story in one browser at one viewport; TurboSnap and the parallel/
  cross-browser matrix multiply snapshot counts. Every published tier includes
  unlimited projects, users, collaborators, and parallel test runs, plus Git/CI
  integration. The Free tier includes 5,000 snapshots per month; paid tiers raise
  the included allowance, add cross-browser testing (Safari, Firefox, Edge), and
  bill overage per snapshot. The GraphQL API and CLI carry no separate fee - usage
  is metered on the snapshots the builds produce.
notes: >-
  Prices captured from chromatic.com/pricing on 2026-07-11 and may change. TurboSnap
  equivalents shown by Chromatic (e.g. 5,000 snapshots ~= 25,000 TurboSnaps) assume
  most snapshots are skipped by change detection; actual mileage varies. Verify
  current numbers on the pricing page during reconciliation.
