  Estuary Flow uses a two-part, usage-based pricing model: a per-GB charge for
  data moved into and out of Flow, plus a flat monthly charge per active
  connector instance. A perpetual Free tier covers small workloads. The Cloud
  plan is self-serve (card or invoice) and metered; Enterprise adds
  volume-based discounts, private deployment, and negotiated terms.
notes: >-
  Representative rates as published on the Estuary pricing page; verify current
  per-GB and per-connector rates and Free-tier limits at reconciliation.
