feat: pricing page sells the real plans, Free tier replaces the unpurchasable Plus

[sweetmantech]

What

Reframes /pricing to sell only the plans that actually exist. The page advertised a $19/mo "Plus" plan with a "Start free" CTA, but the API has exactly one purchasable price: api/lib/stripe/config.ts defines a single STRIPE_SUBSCRIPTION_PRICE_ID (price_1RyDFD00JObOnOb53PcVOeBz, the $99/mo Pro with a 30-day trial). Plus had no checkout path; a visitor who wanted it could never buy it.

Before / After

Slot	Before	After
Card 1	Plus, $19/mo, invented entitlements (100 credits, release planning tools, analytics dashboard, community support)	Free, $0, entitlements verified against the codebase
Card 2	Pro, $99/mo, "Most popular", "Everything in Plus"	Pro, $99/mo, "Most popular", "Everything in Free" (only that one bullet changed)
Card 3	Partner, Custom	Partner, Custom (unchanged)

Free tier bullets and their evidence

Bullet	Evidence
333 AI credits per month	api/lib/credits/const.ts DEFAULT_CREDITS = 333 ("Monthly credit allotment for free-tier accounts"); monthly refill in api/lib/credits/checkAndResetCredits.ts
Artist profiles	POST /api/artists has no plan gate; no artist-count cap exists for free accounts, so the old "1 artist profile" count was dropped rather than kept unverified
Catalog valuation	POST /api/valuation (api/lib/valuation/runValuationHandler.ts) is credit-metered, not pro-gated
Core agent tools for research and content	Chat agent and research endpoints run on the same credit meter free accounts have
No credit card required	Signup is email/OTP only; page already made this claim in the bottom CTA

Dropped Plus bullets that could not be verified as free entitlements: 100 credits (wrong number), release planning tools, analytics dashboard, community support, standalone AI content generation (image generation is x402 payment-routed).

Also updated

• FAQ "Can I try before I buy?" now describes the Free plan (333 credits/month) plus the Pro 30-day trial instead of vague "limited credits".
• Page meta description no longer says "from $19/mo"; it now cites the real $99/mo Pro with 30-day trial.
• CTA hrefs untouched (a sibling PR owns hrefs). No em or en dashes in any changed copy.

Part of recoupable/chat#1902.

Summary by cubic

Updated the /pricing page to sell only real plans: replaced the fake $19/mo Plus with a Free tier that matches actual entitlements. Pro remains $99/mo with a 30‑day trial; copy, FAQ, and metadata now reflect this (addresses recoupable/chat#1902).

• New Features
  • Replaced Plus with Free: 333 credits/month, artist profiles, catalog valuation, core agent tools, no credit card required.
  • Pro card now inherits “Everything in Free” (still $99/mo with a 30‑day trial).
  • FAQ updated to explain Free (333 credits/month) and the Pro trial.
  • Page meta description now cites $99/mo Pro with a 30‑day trial (removed “from $19/mo”).

Warning

Review limit reached

@sweetmantech, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 57 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Heads up from #60: the free plan CTA there now opens a $0 Stripe card-setup screen (card on file for credit top-ups, nothing charged). That makes the "No credit card required" bullet this PR adds to the Free card false.

Whichever of the two merges second needs to drop that bullet. Flagging rather than editing this PR's branch. The FAQ answer here is fine, #60 rewrote the "Can I try before I buy?" answer separately because the old one incorrectly claimed the Pro trial needs no card.
