  CVAT ships in two forms. The self-hosted Community edition is free and
  open-source under the MIT License, with no usage caps imposed by the vendor;
  you run it on your own infrastructure and the full REST API is available.
  CVAT Online (app.cvat.ai) is a hosted SaaS with tiered plans - Free, Solo,
  Team (per-seat, minimum two seats), and Enterprise - that gate project, task,
  storage, cloud-connection, and AI-call limits as well as collaboration,
  RBAC, SSO, audit logs, and webhooks. Annual billing saves up to roughly 30%.
notes: >-
  Hosted pricing and tier limits are taken from cvat.ai/pricing and change over
  time; verify current rates, seat minimums, and feature gating on the pricing
  page during reconciliation. The self-hosted Community edition (MIT) carries no
  per-use vendor charge.
