Is tenant custom nameservers applicable to the free or pro plan?
I've been searching for CF's custom NS options but found they're only available in commercial or enterprise plans. Until I noticed: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/nameservers/custom-nameservers/tenant-custom-nameservers/ , the availability indicates it's only accessible via API, but there's no mention of whether a paid plan is required. Has anyone used it?

Set up tenant custom nameservers
With tenant-level custom nameservers, you can use the same custom nameservers for different zones and across different accounts, as long as the accounts are part of the tenant. The domain or domains that provide the nameservers names do not have to exist as zones in Cloudflare.

According to the documentation, Tenant custom nameservers are available to all zones belonging to any account that is part of the tenant, and they can be created via API only. However, it does not explicitly state that a paid plan is required.
To clarify, I would recommend checking the documentation on custom nameservers for more information: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/nameservers/custom-nameservers/
Additionally, you can also refer to the documentation on tenant custom nameservers: https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/nameservers/custom-nameservers/tenant-custom-nameservers/
If you're still unsure, I would suggest contacting Cloudflare support for further assistance.

I'm looking for a way to automate the bulk addition of websites (50 sites). I've noticed APIs can handle this step effectively, but there's a potential issue: Cloudflare automatically assigns nameservers, and each domain may receive different ones. This means I'd still need to manually enter them at the registrar, which remains time-consuming. Account-level custom nameservers are too expensive (I only need this feature—$200/month is excessive). Is there a better way to automate this in bulk?
Yes, I can set it up automatically through the registrar's API. They provide this option.
