Source & method

USD prices from ByteDance's official pricing page (US version, before tax), last verified . A script re-checks that every listed price still appears on that page, and nothing here changes until a person confirms it. Each CAD price shows where it came from and when we checked it; estimates use the Bank of Canada rate (1.4196, Oct 15, 2026). Usage limits, credits and models are quoted from the vendor’s page; “Not published” means the page doesn’t say. Full method
