description: >-
  Messari publishes free, Pro, and Enterprise tiers. Free API tier provides 20 requests per
  minute and basic asset metrics. Pro adds higher rate limits and proprietary research datasets;
  Enterprise contracts unlock the full Token Unlocks API, intel feed redistribution, and Messari
  Copilot. Public pricing page was rate-limited during research.
notes: Plans partially reconciled - public pricing page returned 429 during research; figures
  reflect commonly cited tiers and may be out of date.
