  NumLookupAPI is sold on flat monthly subscription tiers, each of which grants a
  fixed monthly allowance of validation requests. A free-forever tier provides
  100 requests/month capped at 10 requests/minute; paid tiers (Basic, Pro, Scale)
  increase the monthly allowance and remove the per-minute rate cap, and a Custom
  tier covers higher volumes by arrangement. Only successful calls count against
  the monthly quota. Effective per-lookup cost falls as the tier size grows.
  Yearly billing is discounted roughly 20 percent versus monthly.
notes: >-
  Prices and monthly allowances are taken from the published NumLookupAPI pricing
  page as of 2026-07-12 and are modeled here (reconciled:false). Verify current
  tiers, allowances, and the exact yearly discount on the pricing page during
  reconciliation. The per-lookup figures below are derived from monthly price
  divided by monthly allowance and are approximate.
