  plus a Developer (free) tier for evaluation. Storage is billed via Dataverse capacity add-ons. API
  consumption is governed by per-user 24-hour Power Platform request entitlements rather than per-call
  pricing. Volume discounting is available at 2,000+ seat minimums. Custom enterprise terms available
  via Microsoft direct sales.
