Pricing
You pay for infrastructure — not promises
404200 uses a usage-based pricing model because real editorial collaboration requires real computation, analysis, and verification.
We charge for processing, tooling, and human-in-the-loop infrastructure — not guaranteed outcomes or rankings.
Campaign tools, discovery, and verified editorial placements
Buyers pay based on how much of the platform they use, not on arbitrary packages or link counts.
