  freee is sold as per-company / per-user monthly SaaS subscriptions in Japanese
  yen (JPY), tax-excluded, with usage-based charges (従量課金) applied on top of the
  base plan for some products and higher volumes. Pricing differs by product
  (freee Accounting vs freee HR & Payroll) and by whether the customer is an
  individual (個人) or a corporation (法人). The public REST API is included with a
  paid freee subscription at no separate API fee - what a token can read and write
  is governed by the underlying plan's feature set, not by a distinct API price.
  The figures below are the published corporate (法人) list rates at review time
  and are NOT reconciled; verify current tiers, employee add-on rates, and
  usage-based charges on the freee pricing pages.
notes: >-
  Accounting corporate plans are billed per company with usage-based charges
  layered on; HR & Payroll plans include a base number of employees and then bill
  per additional employee (per-user) per month. Annual (年払い) billing is cheaper
  than monthly (月払い). All amounts are tax-excluded JPY. Advance (アドバンス) and
  Enterprise (エンタープライズ) tiers exist for both products with rates by quote.
