description: >-
  Cost model for building on InkSoft. InkSoft bills as a flat monthly SaaS
  subscription per store rather than metered, per-request API pricing, so API
  cost is bundled into the store license plus an API add-on fee.
model: subscription
currency: USD
dimensions:
  - name: Store subscription
    basis: per store, per month
    note: >-
      Monthly InkSoft plan for the hosted online store and Design Studio.
      InkSoft lists pricing "starting at $299/month"; third-party aggregators
      report roughly $314/month (Standard) and $419/month (Unlimited).
  - name: API access add-on
    basis: per month
    note: >-
      InkSoft API 2 access requires an Unlimited license and is subject to an
      additional monthly fee. The exact add-on amount is not published and is
      quoted by InkSoft sales.
  - name: Payment processing / transaction fees
    basis: per transaction (external)
    note: >-
      Storefront orders incur payment-gateway and any InkSoft/Inktavo commerce
      fees separate from the software subscription; these are configured per
      store and not part of the API surface.
metered: false
notes: >-
  There is no per-call or per-token API metering documented. FinOps for InkSoft
  is dominated by the fixed monthly store subscription and the API add-on fee;
  optimization is about right-sizing the plan rather than tuning API call
  volume. Confirm current figures and the API add-on with InkSoft sales
  (1-844-201-3595).
