  QUANDELA PUBLISHES NO PRICE. A pricing page exists at
  https://cloud.quandela.com/pricing (HTTP 200) but it is a Vue single-page
  application: the served HTML is a 3.6 KB shell whose only text is the heading
  "Quandela Cloud", with all content loaded client-side from
  /assets/index-a553ec1f.js. Nothing readable — no tier name, no figure, no
  currency, no quota — is present in the response body, so no plan can be
  recorded without fabricating it. The marketing page at
  https://www.quandela.com/products-and-services/cloud/ (200) says only
  "Flexible pricing option for small experiments up to mission-critical
  enterprise access" with no numbers. Machine-readable probes for a catalogue
  endpoint all missed: /api/pricing 404, /api/plans 404, /api/products 404,
  /api/offers 404, /api/catalog 404, /api/subscriptions/plans 404 on
  api.cloud.quandela.com. plan_count is therefore an honest 0 — this is a
  recorded absence of published pricing, not an unchecked field.
plans: []
commercial_model:
  billing_unit: credits
  evidence: >-
    The API's own billing model is visible in the contract even though the
    prices are not. TokenUsageUnit (openapi components.schemas) reports
    `credits`, `free_credits`, `duration_seconds` and `nb_jobs` broken down by
    `platform_name`, and GET /api/tokens/usage/report returns it per job token.
    Credit exhaustion is signalled at job submission as
    401 "Not enough credits". So: prepaid credits, metered per platform, with a
    separate free-credit pool.
  free_tier:
    exists: true
    evidence: >-
      "Try cloud for free" registration on the Quandela Cloud product page, and
      a distinct `free_credits` field in TokenUsageUnit.
    quota_published: false
  enterprise_model:
    exists: true
    evidence: >-
      Error text on POST /api/jobs references platform time budgets specific to
      Enterprise offers — 401 "Not enough {platform_type} time left" — and
      403 "Platform {name} is locked, please upgrade your offer to use it",
      confirming tiered platform entitlements ("offers") gate which QPUs an
      account may use.
    tiers_named: false
  token_tiers:
    - flag: is_explorer_token
      note: >-
        An "explorer" token class exists and is rejected on some operations
        (401 "explorer tokens are not allowed"). Its commercial position is
        undocumented.

    priced: false
alternative_purchase_channels:
  note: >-
    Quandela's cloud product page routes buyers to third parties rather than to
    a self-serve price list. None of these publish Quandela pricing on
    quandela.com.
  channels:
    - {name: Quandela Platform, url: 'https://cloud.quandela.com/', model: direct}
    - {name: Scaleway Quantum, model: 'purchase compute time via Scaleway'}
    - {name: GENCI / HQI, model: 'grant-based access for European researchers and industries'}
    - {name: Exaion Quantum, model: 'sovereign systems in Sherbrooke, Canada'}
    - {name: OVHcloud, model: reseller/host}
gaps:
  - Pricing page is client-side rendered and exposes no machine-readable price.
  - No price, currency or billing period published for any tier.
  - Free-tier credit allocation is unquantified.
  - Enterprise "offers" gate platform access but are unnamed and unpriced.
  - No machine-readable pricing or product-catalogue endpoint.
