  note: The pricing page was re-fetched on 2026-08-13 and the three tiers match this artifact exactly,
    so the method is upgraded from generated to searched. Only the Start tier carries a numeric price;
    Launch and Custom are quoted. The "Start for free" and "Log in" buttons on the page both point at
    https://app.vessel.dev, which did not answer on the same date, so the free tier is not currently self-serve
    reachable.
