Prices and plan facts are the quiz's versioned editorial catalog (v18), reviewed in git - never computed from the live leaderboard. Quota shares stay a share of each plan's own allowance, so this page never subtracts one plan's usage figure from another's; the honest cross-plan cost comparison lives on the leaderboard as work per plan-dollar.
