Pricing entry tiers: Retail Cloud Connect at Free plan available, AI Search & Product Filter |SB at Free plan available. Check each app's tier structure for the capacity limits you actually need before deciding — the headline number is the same shape, but the gating shape per tier (apps, orders, integrations) varies.
