description: >-
  Two pricing modes published side by side — monthly subscriptions in EUR for steady workloads, and
  pay-per-request in USD (settled in USDC on Base via x402, or from a Stripe-topped-up USD balance) with no
  plan. Per-request price = base price x size multiplier + surcharges; a pipeline is billed as one operation;
  analyze and estimate are always free; a compress/optimize that does not shrink the file is free.
