note: >-
  HONEST ZERO. Inato publishes no pricing page and no plan tiers. /pricing
  returns 404 and the word does not appear in the sitemap; every commercial call
  to action on the site is "Get in touch", "Request a demo" or "Sign up now".
  There is no self-serve purchase path, no published rate card, and no API to
  meter, so there is nothing structured to record. plan_count is 0 rather than
  the file being omitted, because "we checked and they publish nothing" is a
  different fact from "we did not check".

  two_sided: true
  who_pays: sponsors
  detail: >-
    Inato runs a two-sided marketplace: pharmaceutical sponsors on one side,
    community research sites on the other. Revenue comes from sponsors, not from
    sites.
historical_claims:
- claim: The marketplace is free for research sites.
  quotes:
  - '"As a global tech-powered marketplace that operates entirely free for sites"'
  - '"Liz emphasized that there is no catch: Inato is always free for sites."'

  why_not_a_plan: >-
    Recorded as a historical claim rather than as a plan entry because it comes
    from a January 2024 blog post, and the current for-sites page (fetched
    2026-08-17) contains no statement about cost at all. A two-year-old blog
    sentence is not a published price, so counting it as a tier would credit
    Inato with commercial clarity it does not presently have on its own site.
provider_action: >-
  A one-page statement of the site-side "free" model and the sponsor-side
  engagement model would close the entire commercial_clarity gap without
  disclosing sponsor rates — the free-for-sites fact is already public, just not
  anywhere durable.
