How upsell will feel (decision 3)
Soft, not blocking. Free keeps browsing, 2-way compare, and 3 stacks (placeholder). When you hit a limit, you see a gentle banner: “Pro unlocks 4-way compare, 20 stacks & alerts — your data stays.” No hard 403s in Phase 1. The upgrade feels like getting more, not losing what you had. Hard gates only after you confirm conversion.
Provider tier (future)

FAQ
Do I need to pay to browse?
No. Reads are free and public. Pricing above is for heavier usage & monitoring.
What changes when billing ships?
Only limits and alerts become paid; catalog data stays open. Existing bookmarks/stacks don’t break.
