Licences
Of the 7, 6 are recorded here as proprietary: access is through an API, priced by the token. No licence is recorded for the other 1, so this page does not say whether it can be self-hosted. Licences are as recorded in this catalogue: check the maker's own terms before relying on one.

Your real cost also depends on caching and batching, negotiated discounts, marketplace agreements, and the contracts you already have. OptimNow audits exactly that.
