  Smile.io is sold as a subscription SaaS app (prominently on Shopify) priced by
  plan, with monthly order allowances and per-order overage above the allowance.
  Programmatic REST API access is plan-gated - it is unlocked on the Plus plan
  and Enterprise, and is not available on the Free, Essential, Standard, or
  Growth plans. The figures below are a snapshot of Smile's published pricing and
  change frequently; confirm current numbers on the pricing page during
  reconciliation.
notes: >-
  Prices, order allowances, and which tier unlocks the API can change. As
  observed, REST API access first appears on Plus (listed around $999/mo, often
  annual-billed) and Enterprise adds custom API rate limits and data-warehouse
  sync. Overage was observed around $5 per 100 orders above the monthly
  allowance on paid plans. Verify all values before relying on them.
