Pricing behavior (not a price list)

These points describe when users typically pay more and what usage patterns trigger upgrades.

Actions that trigger upgrades

  • API management must unify with enterprise integration governance
  • Multiple business units need consistent API lifecycle and compliance controls
  • Partner API programs require onboarding, quotas, and auditability at enterprise scale

What gets expensive first

  • Operating model and governance processes are part of the product—you must own them
  • Platform rollout can create friction if teams aren’t aligned on standards
  • Cost and commitment increase as the platform becomes the center of integration

Plans and variants (structural only)

Grouped by type to show structure, not to rank or recommend SKUs.

Enterprise
  • Enterprise platform - Integration-led - Best fit when CIO/platform programs own the operating model (verify official pricing)
Plans
  • Governance rollout - Program ownership - Define standards and workflows early to avoid slowing developers

Next step: constraints + what breaks first

Pricing tells you the cost cliffs; constraints tell you what forces a redesign.
