Which platform for the job.
Four things people put on an app platform, each with the floor the job sets before the price matters (September 2026 data, recomputed daily across 9 platforms). A plan that stops when nothing calls it is a saving on one of these pages and a fault on another, which is the whole reason the four are separate. Every assumption behind a number is stated once, at the bottom of its page.
