free, excellent sdks, and a ceiling money cannot lift
the best sdks in this ranking attached to the hardest wall — a hundred uploads a day, and no amount of money will raise it.
correct the quota model first, because most published guidance is wrong about it. google's current documentation specifies a hundred search calls, a hundred upload calls, and ten thousand units per day for everything else. search and upload were carved out into their own daily allowances; the old arithmetic of dividing ten thousand units by the cost per search happens to give a similar answer for search and gets uploads badly wrong.
most list operations cost a single unit, captions cost far more, and every request costs at least one unit even when it fails. quota resets at midnight pacific.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
