  InstantDB (Instant) uses simple seat/usage tiers anchored on database
  storage. The Free tier is generous (unlimited API requests, 1GB storage,
  one team member, never pauses, commercial use allowed). Pro adds more
  storage and team members and daily backups; Startup scales storage and
  team further with Slack support; Enterprise is custom with SLAs and
  extended backup retention. Storage overage on paid tiers is $0.125 per GB.
notes: >-
  Pricing as published on the InstantDB pricing page; verify current limits,
  storage allotments, and overage rates on the page during reconciliation.
