  Guusto sells the recognition platform on a per-seat SaaS subscription with
  four tiers - Free, Lite, Essential, and Premium - billed monthly or yearly in
  USD or CAD. Seats are split into sender seats (people who send rewards) and
  recipient seats (people who can receive them). API access is included only on
  the Premium plan; the lower tiers do not expose the Gifts API. The Gifts API
  itself is not separately metered - it drives the same reward budget you fund
  through your subscription and gift funding.
notes: >-
  Prices below are from the public Guusto pricing page and may change; verify
  current per-seat rates, minimums, and API entitlement during reconciliation.
  Gift face value (the amount loaded onto each reward) is funded separately from
  the platform subscription.
