  Kno2 does not publish self-service, list-price API plans. Access to the Kno2
  Communication API is sold as a partner/enterprise subscription arranged through
  Kno2 sales and the Developer Program. Pricing is quoted per engagement and is
  typically driven by the networks and channels enabled (Direct Secure Messaging,
  document exchange, FHIR, cloud fax, and record retrieval across Carequality /
  eHealth Exchange / TEFCA), the number of subscriptions/addresses, and message
  or transaction volume. No public numeric rates are documented, so nothing here
  is reconciled - all tiers below are modeled from Kno2's public positioning.
notes: >-
  Verify commercial terms directly with Kno2 (info@kno2.com, 888.390.6394) or via
  the developer portal at developer.kno2.com. A staging sandbox is available to
  Developer Program participants for integration and testing. plan_count is set
  to 0 because Kno2 publishes no self-service, list-price plan tiers -
  everything is enterprise contract/"contact sales" pricing; the two entries
  under `plans:` below are modeled illustrative structure, not published tiers,
  kept for context.
