  SmartNews publishes no plans, tiers or price list for the SmartNews Ads
  Marketing API. The API itself is not sold as a product — it is a free control
  plane over a SmartNews Ads account, and access is granted per organization only
  after a reviewed Developer Application Form. Spend is auction-based advertising
  media cost (daily/lifetime campaign budgets set by the advertiser, with Max
  Conversion and Max Click bid strategies), not an API subscription, so there is
  no per-call price, no included quota and no overage schedule to record.
  Searched the ads site, the advertising FAQs, the developer portal and the API
  Terms of Service on 2026-08-13; none names a price, a tier or a minimum spend.
pricing_model: auction-based advertising spend (no API fee, no published rate card)
quota_model: none published (see rate-limits/smartnews-rate-limits.yml for the one published limit)
