  ClearVIN sells vehicle history reports on a per-report and credit / package
  basis rather than per-API-call metering. Consumer reports are priced per
  report with multi-report packs lowering the unit cost, and an unlimited
  monthly subscription is available. Business and dealer programs offer
  discounted per-report bulk pricing with no volume commitment. Credits are a
  prepaid virtual currency tied to the account balance, do not expire, and are
  spent against valid VIN lookups - including via the vendor API. Exact API
  subscriber pricing is negotiated on signup and is not published; the rates
  below are representative public consumer and dealer prices and require
  reconciliation for API contracts.
notes: >-
  Per-report and subscription prices are taken from public ClearVIN consumer
  and dealer pages and may change; API subscriber / vendor pricing is quoted on
  registration and is not publicly listed. Verify on reconciliation.
