  There is no /pricing page (404). Prices are published verbatim in the provider's own llms.txt
  ("Pricing (pay-as-you-go)" and the endpoint table) and in the two blog posts above; the
  homepage is a JS-rendered marketing page whose pricing section did not render server-side.

  Pay-as-you-go, per successful call, in euros. No tiers, no subscriptions, no seat pricing. Two
  modes: Claix Managed AI (flat per-document prices after 100 free successful calls) and BYOK
  (bring your own OpenAI/Gemini/Claude/Grok key - no Claix processing fee, you pay the provider's
  tokens). Failed calls (auth, validation, 5xx) are not billed. Enterprise contact: info@claix.dev.
