description: >-
  IBM Cloudability publishes no plans and no prices. The product is sold
  enterprise-direct: the pricing path on the vendor's own site resolves to a
  contact-sales form. This file records that absence as a measurement.
plan_count: 0
public_pricing: false
pricing_model: enterprise-quote

trial:
  offered: unknown
  note: >-
    Any evaluation access is arranged through the same contact-sales flow; no
    self-serve trial signup was found on apptio.com or ibm.com.
api_metering:
  metered: false
  note: >-
    The Cloudability API is an entitlement of a Cloudability subscription. No
    per-call pricing, no API-specific plan and no request quota is published. API
    access is gated by Cloudability feature permissions on the customer's tenant,
    not by a purchased API tier.

  This file previously contained a bulk-sweep scaffold dated 2026-05-04 that
  invented a "cloudability-free" tier with a 1,000 requests/month quota and a
  10 requests/minute rate limit at $0.00. None of that was ever published by
  Cloudability. It has been removed and replaced with the measured absence above
  (method upgraded generated -> searched).
