    QR Code Crafter publishes a pricing page but sells nothing on it. There is no paid tier, no
    subscription, no metered billing, no account and no card capture anywhere on the site — the page
    exists to explain the free public API's limits and to tell a reader when they should go buy a
    paid dynamic-QR platform instead. plan_count is 1 because there is exactly one real offer (free
    public access), not because a paid tier was hidden behind a sales gate.
plans:
  - name: Free public API
    price: 0
    currency: null
    period: null
    signup_required: false
    included:
      - Static QR generation for 27+ payload types
      - Six export formats — SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF, EPS — at sizes up to 4096px
      - Colors, error-correction level, quiet-zone margin, and embedded logo
      - Bulk ZIP generation up to 50 rows per request, with manifest.csv and manifest.json
      - Generate-and-verify with decode receipt for SVG, PNG, JPG and WebP
      - Privacy-first dynamic URL redirects with capability-token management
      - Capability-managed vaults (up to 50 child records) with aggregate scan counts
    limits:
      rate_limit: Cost-weighted soft budget per client — see rate-limits/qr-code-crafter-rate-limits.yml
      bulk_rows: 50
      active_dynamic_records: 100000
      analytics_retention_days: 90
    overage: none
    note: >-
      Scans are never metered. A static QR file keeps working after download with no dependency on
      QR Code Crafter staying online.
api_keys:
  paid: false
  note: >-
    An optional issued X-Agent-Api-Key exists but the provider is explicit that it is "optional, not
    a paywall" — public access continues to work unless an administrator enables key enforcement for
    a deployment, and a key may raise the cost budget when it is. Keys are requested by contacting
    support, not purchased.
enterprise:
  available: false
  note: >-
    The pricing page has no "contact sales" path. It instead recommends a competing paid dynamic-QR
    provider, or self-hosting, for anyone who needs editable destinations, pre-load scan analytics,
    team governance, an SLA, or contracted volume guarantees. That is an unusually candid position
    and worth recording as-is.
