note: >-
  Mealie publishes no pricing page and sells no plans — there is nothing gated. It is
  AGPL-3.0 licensed software the user runs on their own hardware, distributed as a
  container image from ghcr.io/mealie-recipes/mealie. mealie.io/pricing, /terms and
  /privacy all return 404; mealie.io itself is a marketing page carrying an "under
  construction" banner. There is no hosted tier, no API key sold by the project, and
  therefore no quota, overage or per-tier limit to record. Funding is via GitHub
  Sponsors to the original maintainer (.github/FUNDING.yml names hay-kot). This is a
  genuine plan_count: 0 for a company that has no commercial offering, not a gap in
  our search.
