How to choose
- Price the unit you actually use (per VIN lookup / API call (decode and recall often billed as separate calls)), not the headline plan.
- Check what the free tier allows before paying: several options above list one.
- Test on your own data; switch costs are usually the data format and integrations, not the price.
