  Financial operations guidance for managing Tettra API and platform costs.
  Tettra uses a per-user seat-based pricing model. API access is only available
  on the Scaling ($8/user/month annually) and Enterprise (custom) plans.
  Cost optimization focuses on right-sizing user seats and choosing annual
  billing to access the 20% discount.

      Minimum 10 users. At $8/user/month (annual), minimum annual spend is
      $960/year. Monthly billing at $10/user brings minimum to $1,200/year.
      API access is included.

costOptimization:
  - recommendation: Use annual billing
    savings: 20% compared to monthly billing
    notes: >-
      Annual billing at $8/user/month vs $10/user/month monthly. For 10
      users, this saves $240/year.
  - recommendation: Right-size user seats
    notes: >-
      Only add users who actively create or edit content. Viewers who only
      read may not require full seats depending on plan terms. Review seat
      utilization via the usage analytics dashboard.
  - recommendation: Leverage Zapier as API alternative
    notes: >-
      For simpler automation tasks, Zapier integration may be available at
      lower cost than upgrading to Scaling solely for API access, depending
      on existing Zapier subscription.
  - recommendation: Consolidate knowledge management tooling
    notes: >-
      Tettra is best suited as a primary internal wiki. Consolidating from
      multiple tools (Confluence, Notion, Google Sites) to Tettra may reduce
      overall tooling costs while gaining AI features.
apiCostConsiderations:
  - item: API access requires Scaling or Enterprise plan
    impact: >-
      Teams on a lower tier would need to upgrade to access the REST API,
      increasing minimum spend from $0 to $960/year (10 users, annual).
  - item: No metered API billing
    impact: >-
      API usage is included in the flat per-seat fee; there are no additional
      per-call or per-request charges documented.
  - item: Experimental API stability risk
    impact: >-
      The API is marked experimental. Integration breakage from undocumented
      breaking changes could incur developer time costs. Budget for maintenance.

    A 30-day free trial is available for the Scaling plan without requiring

    committing to annual billing.
