  Teads publishes no self-serve plans, price list, or public rate card for any of
  its developer surfaces. The In-Chat Recommendations API, the Conversions API,
  and the mobile ad SDKs are all obtained through a Teads account representative
  or Partner Manager, and are monetized on the ad-revenue side (CPM / vCPM /
  CPC revenue share) rather than sold as metered API access. This is a recorded
  commercial posture, not a missing lookup.

  type: sales-led-revenue-share
  billing_basis:
  - CPM
  - vCPM (viewable CPM)
  - CPC / net_cpc
  detail: >-
    Media owners and conversational-AI publishers are paid out of ad revenue
    Teads books against their inventory; the API itself carries no list price.
    The In-Chat API response returns cpm / net_cpc per document and Teads' own
    docs describe "Metrics, reporting, and payouts via Teads' platform".
