How usage is metered

Reading these tables

  • USD prices are the listed prices. Where the source states the tax treatment, it is shown under the price; otherwise the cell says “tax not stated”.
  • “Not tracked” means we hold no sourced value for that cell yet. Where a vendor publishes no number, the cell quotes what it does say.
  • Each value links to its source; the list under each table shows the source's exact words.
