  Propel offers a Free tier to get started, a paid commercial tier for growing
  applications, and an Enterprise tier for larger deployments. Pricing is
  largely sales-led / custom and scales with usage dimensions such as query
  volume, Data Pool storage, compute (the "Propeller" size assigned to an
  Application), and number of Applications. Public per-unit prices are not
  consistently published, so plan entries below are not reconciled.
notes: >-
  Plan names and limits vary over time and several are quote-based; verify the
  current tiers, included quotas, and per-unit overages on the Propel pricing
  page and with Propel sales during reconciliation.
