description: Convex uses a hybrid plan model with a free Starter tier (no card required), a Professional
  tier billed at $25 per developer/month, and Business/Enterprise contracts starting at a $2,500 monthly
  minimum. Each plan bundles included quotas across function calls, database storage and I/O, file storage,
  search storage and queries, action compute, and egress. Usage above the included quota is billed via
  pay-as-you-go overage rates.
