  IQM has no dedicated /pricing page — https://iqm.tech/pricing/ returns 404. The plan table
  lives on the IQM Resonance product page and is transcribed verbatim below. The billing
  unit is unusual and worth naming plainly: IQM sells QPU SECONDS, metered as credits, not
  API calls or requests.

    The page states the Starter allowance two ways in two renderings of the same table —
    "up to 30 credits / month" and "up to 1h" of access to the latest QPUs. Both are
    recorded because both are published; IQM does not reconcile them.
