description: >-
  Portcast pricing is sales-led and not publicly published. Access to the
  Container Tracking API and the broader predictive visibility platform is sold
  via a per-shipment / volume-based subscription negotiated with Portcast sales,
  typically following a Discovery Session, Tech Alignment, and Integration
  onboarding. Portcast is also available through the AWS Marketplace. Specific
  per-unit rates and tier thresholds are not reconciled in this artifact.
notes: >-
  No public price list. Confirm container/shipment volume tiers, included
  carrier coverage, and predictive ETA add-ons directly with Portcast sales on
  reconciliation.
