  SniffCat publishes NO priced plans. There is no /pricing page (probed, 404), no paid tier, no
  overage schedule and no enterprise contact-sales form. The homepage states the commercial position
  explicitly — "No Hidden Costs: Use SniffCat with no surprises: no charges for core features, no
  sudden limits, no hidden conditions" — and the API is marketed as "Use Our Free API". What looks
  like tiering is NOT commercial: entitlement is granted through ROLES (Individual, Early User,
  Webmaster, Contributor, SniffCat Enthusiast, Hosting Provider, ISP, Security Researcher, Law
  Enforcement), which are assigned on trust/identity rather than purchased, and which raise daily
  quotas additively. Those quotas are captured in rate-limits/sniffcat-rate-limits.yml, not here,
  because they carry no price.

    price points; the page never mentions cost.

  note: >-
    An account is created at /register, then an API token (X-Secret-Token) is generated from the
    authenticated /api page. Roles beyond the default appear to be granted by the operator rather
    than self-selected; the docs do not state the request process.
