description: Lyft publishes no developer plans, tiers or API price list. There is no pricing page for the API (https://www.lyft.com/pricing
  returns 404) and the developer portal redirects to a login, so no tier, quota or overage can be read by an unauthenticated
  buyer. The only pricing statement on an anonymously readable Lyft page is the Concierge API help-centre article,
  which says an organisation pays for the rides it uses — consumption of the underlying service, not a subscription
  to the API. This file replaces a 2026-05-04 scaffold that asserted Free/Professional/Enterprise tiers with invented
  per-minute and monthly quotas; Lyft has never published any of those numbers.

  access: API access is granted through a Lyft Business relationship; the help centre instructs organisations to
    contact their Lyft Business representative and to attach an API client to a program in the Lyft Business Portal.

  note: NOT API pricing. Lyft does publish machine-readable consumer ride pricing for its micromobility fleet, through
    the GBFS system_pricing_plans feed of each system. It is recorded here because it is the only first-party price
    data Lyft serves anonymously, and it prices the service an integrator dispatches — but it is not a plan for
    access to an API and is NOT counted in plan_count.
