## Cost Examples

To illustrate the difference between tiers, here are example monthly costs for an account running 10 active Cores with no add-ons:

- **Enterprise:** $400 membership + (10 × $10) = **$500/mo**
- **Consultant:** $200 membership + (10 × $15) = **$350/mo**
- **Pay-As-You-Go:** $0 membership + (10 × $55) = **$550/mo**

At higher Core counts, Enterprise becomes more economical due to its lower per-Core rate. At very low Core counts (1–3 Cores), Pay-As-You-Go or Consultant may be more cost-effective than paying the Enterprise membership fee.
