description: >-
  Poplin has no public developer program and therefore no per-API pricing.
  What is publicly documented is consumer-facing service pricing: customers
  pay per pound of laundry through the Poplin app, and independent Laundry
  Pros are paid out of that revenue for pickup, wash/dry/fold, and delivery.
  This file records the real, sourced consumer pricing model rather than any
  fabricated API tier.
notes: >-
  These are laundry-service prices, not API plans. There is no API to meter
  or bill. Prices vary by market; figures below reflect the "most zip codes"
  rate published by Poplin as of the review date.
