  Lakekeeper itself is free and Apache-2.0 licensed — there is no paid tier for the open-source catalog, and no
  metering, quota or usage limit attached to it. The two commercial offerings are sold by Vakamo, the company that
  maintains Lakekeeper, and neither publishes a number: both are "Contact Sales", with only the BASIS of pricing
  disclosed. Recorded here as three tiers because a self-hosted open-source tier with no price is a real
  commercial position, not an absence.

  "Reserved capacity and data volume" and "API calls and processed data volume" name the meters but not the
  units, so no cost can be estimated without a sales conversation.
