description: >-
  Orb is sold through a sales-led, platform-fee model and does not publish a
  fully public self-serve price card. Pricing for the Orb billing and metering
  platform is quoted via Orb sales and is generally structured as a platform
  subscription fee plus usage components tied to billed revenue and/or
  ingested event volume. Orb advertises tiered packaging (a growth/standard
  tier for scaling companies and an enterprise tier with advanced controls,
  SSO, audit logging, and premium support) but list prices are not disclosed
  publicly. Note: the "plans", "prices", and "subscriptions" Orb exposes via
  its API are the constructs Orb's own customers use to bill THEIR end users -
  they are not Orb's price for the Orb platform itself.
notes: >-
  Reconciled is false because Orb's own platform pricing is sales-led with no
  published price card. Contact Orb sales for current platform-fee and usage
  terms. The plan entries below describe Orb's commercial packaging at a high
  level, not exact figures.
