  TutorCruncher is sold as a tiered monthly SaaS subscription with three plans -
  Pay as you go, Startup, and Enterprise - each carrying a base monthly fee plus
  payment-processing (transaction) fees on money moved through the platform.
  API access, custom JavaScript/CSS, and custom integrations are Enterprise-tier
  features. Prices below are the published US list rates and can change; verify
  on the pricing page during reconciliation.
notes: >-
  The API itself carries no separate metered fee - it is gated to the Enterprise
  plan. Transaction fees apply on top of the base monthly fee whenever payments
  are processed. International card, Amex/Diners/JCB/UnionPay, and offline-payment
  surcharges apply per plan.
