  Soundcharts offers self-served, commitment-free monthly API subscriptions
  tiered by included monthly request volume, plus custom enterprise data feed
  and data dump solutions sold direct. A free trial provides a small number of
  requests to evaluate the API. Tier names and prices below are sales-led
  figures gathered from public pricing pages and are not reconciled against a
  contract; verify current pricing with Soundcharts.
notes: >-
  Soundcharts publishes that API subscriptions range from roughly 500,000 to
  60M+ requests per month with a shared rate limit and direct-sales pricing.
  Plan names, request volumes, and dollar figures here are indicative and
  subject to change; reconciled is false until confirmed with the provider.
