  Cropio (now Cropwise Operations) does not sell API access as its own product -
  the API rides along with a Cropwise Operations account. The product is licensed
  as a farm-management subscription, historically described (per third-party
  software directories such as Capterra) as a free trial plus paid per-user
  subscription tiers, with each account also carrying a managed hectare
  (`area_limit`) allowance exposed read-only on the Company API resource.
  Syngenta/Cropwise does not publish a detailed public rate card for Cropwise
  Operations; pricing is quoted per account by sales based on farm size, region,
  and modules (satellite/NDVI, telematics, scouting) enabled. There is no
  separate, publicly listed price for the API itself.
notes: >-
  Third-party listing sites show a nominal "starting price" and a free trial for
  Cropwise Operations, but Cropio/Syngenta does not publish an authoritative rate
  card, so specific tier prices below are marked unreconciled. The 2025 "Cropwise
  Open Platform" partner program is a separate initiative with its own,
  undocumented commercial terms and is out of scope here.
