  Wyzant has two distinct commercial models, and neither is a metered API plan.
  On the consumer side, Wyzant is a tutoring marketplace: students pay each
  tutor's own hourly rate (roughly $35-$60/hour on average, ranging from about
  $15 up to $485/hour depending on subject and tutor) plus a Wyzant service fee
  charged as a percentage of the lesson cost. The first hour with a new tutor is
  protected by Wyzant's Good Fit Guarantee. On the partner/developer side, the
  Search API and Data Feed are not sold as paid tiers - they are a benefit of
  Wyzant's free affiliate/partner program (ShareASale-based). Approved partners
  get an API key at no charge and instead earn a bounty for each qualified
  student lead they refer. Exact bounty amounts are set in Exhibit A of the
  partner agreement and are not reconciled here.
notes: >-
  The consumer service fee percentage and the partner per-lead bounty are the
  real monetary figures; verify current values on Wyzant's help center and in
  the partner agreement during reconciliation. The service fee has been
  published at around 9% of lesson cost; the per-lead bounty has been referenced
  publicly around $8 per qualified student lead but is governed by the current
  agreement.
