The model

How enterprise only pricing works.

How it's charged

There is no self-serve motion at all: every deal is scoped, priced, and contracted through sales, usually as an annual platform agreement.

What to watch

Anchoring. With no public list price, the first quote is a negotiating position — third-party spend data (where it exists) is your only benchmark.
