  Nectar's Recognize product is sold per employee per month (billed annually),
  with a published minimum annual commitment. Third-party pricing pages report a
  Plus tier at roughly $5 per employee/month and a Premium tier at roughly $6
  per employee/month (annual billing), plus a custom Enterprise tier; Nectar's
  own pricing page is quote-based ("Get pricing"). The Open API is not a
  standalone priced product - it is an add-on that must be enabled on your
  Nectar plan by support / your account manager. If the Settings > Integrations
  API section is not visible, API access is not included in the current plan.
notes: >-
  The $5 / $6 per-user figures are from third-party review/pricing aggregators,
  not a Nectar-published rate card, so they are marked unreconciled. Verify
  current tiers, the annual minimum, and whether Open API access carries an
  incremental fee directly with Nectar sales during reconciliation. Nectar also
  sells Comms, Engage, and a bundled Culture Suite; those are out of scope here.
