description: >-
  Spotlight Rules publishes no plans, tiers or prices, and this is a stated position rather than a
  gap. The project's funding page commits to open source "permanently" with no commercial tier —
  "no feature gets held back to create a paid version" — and describes the intended funding model
  as earmarked sponsorship through a fiscal host rather than a product with paid plans. The
  specification, the JSON Schema, the rulesets and the npm packages are all free to use.

  note: >-
    The funding page argues the case for direct, earmarked sponsorship via a fiscal host and states
    that the technical home and the fiscal arrangement are still open questions. No sponsorship
    button, donation link, or fiscal host is live on the site as of 2026-09-04.
