  Union.ai is the commercial platform built on the open-source Flyte project
  (Apache-2.0, free to self-host). Union itself does not sell raw compute; it
  bills usage-based pricing for the orchestration plus the action-allocated
  CPU / Memory / GPU resources each workflow uses, metered per second, never
  for idle capacity. The Serverless / Team plan is pay-as-you-go with a free
  trial credit; Enterprise (including BYOC and self-hosted) is sales-led with
  custom, negotiated pricing. Specific rates change frequently and many
  enterprise terms are not published, so this artifact is not reconciled.
notes: >-
  Representative rates as observed on the Union.ai pricing page; verify current
  per-second resource rates, action pricing, and plan structure on the page at
  reconciliation. Flyte (flyte.org) is open-source under Apache-2.0 and free to
  run yourself; the pricing below applies to the managed Union platform only.
