    Pelias is MIT-licensed open-source software with no software licensing costs.
    The primary cost model is infrastructure (self-hosted) or subscription-based
    (Geocode Earth hosted service). Because it is powered entirely by open data,
    there are no data licensing fees. The hosted Geocode Earth service provides
    predictable monthly billing starting at $100/month.

  costModels:
    - model: Self-Hosted
      description: >
        Run Pelias on your own servers or cloud infrastructure. No software cost.
        Costs are driven by Elasticsearch cluster sizing, data storage for imported
        datasets (OpenStreetMap, OpenAddresses, etc.), compute, and bandwidth.
      costDrivers:
        - Elasticsearch cluster (dominant cost)
        - Server/VM compute for API, Placeholder, PIP, Interpolation services
        - Storage for geocoding datasets (can be several hundred GB to TB)
        - Bandwidth for import and serving
        - Operational overhead for maintenance and updates
      estimatedMonthlyCost: "Varies; small deployments ~$50-300/month cloud infra"

  costOptimizationTips:
    - Cache geocoding results client-side or server-side; Geocode Earth explicitly permits storing results indefinitely.
    - Use autocomplete endpoint only for interactive search; batch offline geocoding against the search endpoint.
    - Self-host for high-volume use cases where cloud infrastructure cost is less than hosted plan cost.
    - Geocode Earth offers discounts for open-source projects and non-profits — contact them directly.
    - Use structured geocoding (/v1/search/structured) when input data is already parsed to improve match accuracy and reduce retry requests.
    - Import only the data sources relevant to your geography to reduce Elasticsearch index size and query costs.
