  Searchcraft is offered as a managed cloud service (Searchcraft Cloud) and a
  self-hosted engine (Searchcraft Core). Searchcraft Cloud is access-gated
  behind account sign-up at vektron.searchcraft.io and an enterprise contact
  form; public per-tier pricing (named plans, monthly prices, index/document or
  request limits) is not published on a public pricing page as of the created
  date. Searchcraft Core is a self-hosted engine distributed via Docker. The
  plans below capture the publicly documented productization shape; specific
  prices and quotas are not reconciled.
notes: >-
  No public searchcraft.io/pricing page was available at the created date;
  pricing is obtained by signing up for Searchcraft Cloud or contacting sales.
  Reconcile named tiers, prices, and quotas against the account console and any
  future public pricing page.
