description: >-
  Shazam's official developer framework (ShazamKit) is available at no additional cost to Apple
  Developer Program members ($99/year for individuals, $299/year for organizations). The third-party
  Shazam REST API on RapidAPI (apidojo) offers tiered paid plans based on monthly request volume
  with a 7-day free trial of up to 50 requests. Overage charges apply at $0.0162435 per request
  beyond the included quota.
notes: ShazamKit requires an Apple Developer account. The RapidAPI Shazam endpoint is a third-party
  wrapper; Apple does not offer a direct public REST API for song recognition.
