  REPLACES the 2026-05-04 bulk-sweep scaffold, which invented three tiers (Free /
  Professional / Enterprise) with invented quotas and TBD prices. Contify publishes none
  of that. There is no pricing page: https://www.contify.com/pricing/ 302s to the
  contact-sales form, /plans/ returns 404, and the sitemap carries no pricing page.
  Contify is a contact-sales, enterprise-negotiated product with a time-boxed free trial
  and no published price, tier name, quota or overage rate. plan_count: 0 is the finding.
