## Collection notes

Plans are the Free, Lite and Plus columns of the API pricing page; Enterprise is custom and not modelled. The API plans are separate from the Studio web plans. Usage is counted in credits at one credit per character, so the credits are entered as characters. Beyond the included credits, paid plans are billed automatically in fixed blocks: $9 for 100k credits on Lite and $100 for 1.25M credits on Plus.
