## Notes

- Budgets are compared with listed USD prices before tax; annual plans use their per-month equivalent.
- Monthly volume is covered from the plan allowance plus published extra-usage rules; one-time free credits are not counted as monthly.
- Values come from official pricing pages and docs on the check date shown with each fact. Confirm the final price, taxes, promotions and account limits with the seller before buying.
- Order within full matches is by monthly cost (a cost range at its upper end), then by preferred conditions met, then by plan id. Affiliate relationships do not affect order.
