  Xano sells flat monthly subscription plans for its no-code backend platform
  rather than metering individual API calls. The Free plan rate-limits the
  generated REST APIs and caps records and storage; paid plans (Essential, Pro)
  remove the API rate limit and records cap, add dedicated infrastructure,
  branching, backups, more workspaces, team seats, and storage; the Custom plan
  adds self-hosting, multi-tenant, SSO, and negotiated terms. Pricing below
  reflects annual billing as published on the Xano pricing page.
notes: >-
  Prices and tier names change; verify against the Xano pricing page during
  reconciliation. Paid-plan prices shown are the annual-billing monthly rate;
  month-to-month billing is higher. The Metadata API is included on plans that
  permit programmatic access.
