    GIPHY operates a two-tier developer model: a free, rate-limited Beta key for
    development and prototyping, and a Production key granted after application review.
    Production pricing is not publicly listed and is discussed individually with
    qualifying applicants. The GIPHY SDKs (iOS, Android, Web, React Native, Flutter)
    are free to use against the same API surface.
