# 2026-08-14: this file previously held a fabricated three-tier API-request scaffold
# (Free / Professional / Enterprise, USD, per-request quotas) written by the
# 2026-05-04 bulk sweep. SmartData sells none of that. It has been replaced in full
# with the tiers SmartData actually publishes on its BYO Data Hosting page: annual
# and monthly subscriptions priced in AUD and metered by HOSTED DATASET COUNT, not
# by API calls. SmartData publishes no API pricing because it publishes no API.
plan_count: 4
currency: AUD
billing_unit: hosted dataset
notes: >-
  SmartData's published pricing is for hosting processed, viewer-ready drone datasets
  (orthomosaic, Cesium 3D Tiles, point cloud, Gaussian Splat) in the SmartData viewer.
  The customer-facing meter is the number of hosted datasets; included storage is stated
  by the provider as a fair-use infrastructure allowance rather than a billed meter.
  SmartData states overage is reviewed manually for the MVP rather than charged through
  automatic overage billing. Raw DJI/Agisoft project folders, raw photos, loose GeoTIFF,
  loose LAS/LAZ and loose OBJ/FBX are explicitly NOT covered by these plans and are
  quoted separately as conversion or processing work.
