  NotificationAPI uses tiered subscription plans anchored on monthly active
  users (MAU) and notification volume, with paid channels (SMS, voice) metered
  per message on top of the plan. A Free tier lets developers build and test;
  Startup and Business tiers raise MAU / volume limits and add features; and
  Enterprise is a custom contract. Exact prices and limits change - verify on
  the NotificationAPI pricing page during reconciliation.
notes: >-
  Tier names and structure reflect NotificationAPI's published MAU-and-volume
  based pricing model; specific dollar amounts and included volumes are
  representative and must be reconciled against the live pricing page.
