description: >-
  FinOps view of MarketMan spend. MarketMan is a fixed-fee SaaS subscription
  (Starter / Growth / Enterprise tiers) rather than a usage-metered API, so
  cost management centers on subscription tier selection, number of locations
  and users, and invoice-scan allowance rather than per-call API billing. The
  API itself is bundled with the platform subscription. Because pricing is
  sales-led and not fully published, the billing detail here is not reconciled.
notes: >-
  Subscription pricing and inclusions are determined during sales. Confirm
  per-location and per-user costs, overage handling for invoice scans, and
  whether API access carries any incremental fee during reconciliation.
