  Vincario's vindecoder.eu API uses subscription-style, volume-tiered per-request
  pricing in EUR. New accounts get 20 free VIN lookups to test the service. The VIN
  Decode price drops as committed volume rises; Vehicle Market Value and Stolen
  Check are priced on a separate, higher per-request tier. Vehicle Info (list of
  decodable details) is free. Invalid VINs are not charged. Credits are valid until
  fully used.
notes: >-
  Prices reflect the volume tiers published on the Vincario pricing pages; verify
  current per-request rates and any plan structure on the provider site during
  reconciliation. 10,000+ volumes are custom-quoted.
