# Plans & Pricing

MACROVISONOMICS offers flexible plans to match your data exploration needs, from casual browsing to enterprise-level analysis.

<Note>
  **Source of truth for plan limits:** Exact numeric limits (searches, sources, chart types, API calls, dashboards, export formats, and feature flags) are defined in `shared/schema.ts` → `SUBSCRIPTION_TIER_PERMISSIONS` and enforced at runtime via `server/services/stripe.ts` → `UNSUBSCRIBED_LIMITS` / `PLAN_LIMITS`. When in doubt, these files are authoritative over documentation copy.
