  Nutritionix prices the Track API on a tiered, annually-billed subscription
  model. A limited free tier historically served developers, students, and
  hobbyists, but public free-access trials have been curtailed due to misuse;
  current access is sold as paid commercial plans with quotas scaled by tier.
  Enterprise plans are quoted by sales and start in the low thousands of dollars
  per month; nonprofits on annual plans over $6K/year receive a 10% discount.
  Exact per-tier prices and quotas are gated behind a sales/quote flow, so the
  figures below are flagged unreconciled until verified against a live quote.
