  SmartHR is sold as a per-employee, per-month SaaS subscription in Japanese yen
  (JPY). There is a free "¥0 plan" for organizations of up to 30 employees that
  supports basic employee-information registration, and paid plans layered by
  functional scope (labor/HR administration, talent management, and a combined
  HR-strategy tier). Paid pricing scales with employee headcount and is
  quote-based (要問い合わせ) - SmartHR does not publish fixed per-employee list
  prices. The API and webhooks are part of the SmartHR platform and are not sold
  as a separately metered product; API access follows the underlying
  subscription.
notes: >-
  SmartHR publishes plan tiers but not fixed per-employee JPY rates; paid pricing
  is quote-based and varies by headcount, functional scope, and contract term.
  The plan entries below capture the published structure, not reconciled prices.
  Verify current tiers and any per-employee rates on the SmartHR pricing page
  during reconciliation.
