In the pricing, different tiers have different "priorities". It would be helpful to know what these "priorities" mean in the real world.

If I submit a request as a low-priority user, should I expect a response in 1 second? 1 minute? 1 hour? Something else? And how consistent is the amount of time I should expect to wait?

The time it takes, in general, is mainly dependent on how fast the page loads. The priority simply means, that if for some reason there are more requests at a given time then we can handle, that the people with the higher plans get served first. With other words for 99% of the requests, there should not be any time difference at all.
I understand that people with higher priority get served first.

The question is how that will affect someone's real-world use.

Like written above should it normally not make a difference at all. But sure is possible that if there is an unexpected huge surge the people in the lowest plan suddenly have to wait a few seconds longer.
I understand. I realize that I wasn't clear but my second comment was feedback wrt/ your marketing page.
