HTTP 200, server-rendered Next.js page with real embedded Stripe price objects. The site's headline '$12/mo' is the annual-billed rate only; billed monthly the same Premium tier is $20/mo. Next tier above entry is disputed across sources (roughly $90/mo Advanced vs $18 to $20/user/mo Teams vs a $100/mo/5-seat Lab in different trackers) and is not reflected here.
