The real page carries both: annual $80 / $205 / $420 and month to month $95 / $245 / $495, Enterprise custom on both. Recorded as the annual ladder with a month-to-month entry of $95, matching how every other annual-basis row here is stored. This also resolves the currency conflict flagged on 2026-09-03: the independent write-ups quoting $95 / $245 / $495 were right, and were quoting the MONTHLY ladder.", "contact": "Read in the browser by Marco, the last row in the index never opened at source", "note": "The three ladders cross-check exactly against the savings the page prints ($180 / $480 / $900 a year): $95x12 minus $180 is $960, which is $80x12, and the same holds for Pro and Advanced. That is why this row is recorded at full confidence despite being a single read. Plan contents, identical on both toggles: Starter 50 prompts, choose 3 models, unlimited users, daily tracking, 1 project. Pro 150 prompts, 3 models, 2 projects. Advanced 350 prompts, 3 models, 5 projects, multi-country and a Looker Studio connector. Enterprise adds fully customisable prompts, all models (up to 12), daily or weekly cadence, unlimited projects, API access and SSO. The old \"choose from 6\" engine note is not on the page and is retired rather than carried forward.\n\nTHE PATTERN, because this is the second time in one week. The LLM Pulse error was an assumed billing basis. This one was an assumed CURRENCY and an assumed basis at once.
