  Electronic Arts sells NO API plan. Its only API programme, the EA SPORTS FC Community API
  (launched 2026-07-27), is a closed partner arrangement with three named community sites and
  carries no published price, quota or tier of any kind — EA states outright that it is "not
  accepting requests at this time". The two plans below are the consumer EA Play membership
  tiers, read live from EA's pricing page on 2026-09-06 and recorded so the commercial surface
  is not blank; they are subscription products, not developer plans.
