Third-party

Plan allocation assumes the stated volume. Minimum subscriptions, unused credits, taxes, human labor, mailboxes, domains, and verification can change the total. Supplied totals are not silently recalculated.

Arithmetic discrepancy: 9 credits × $0.020–0.026 × 1,000 implies $180–234; the dataset gives $176–234. Confirm the underlying credit price before budgeting.
