How do I programatically determine which Shopify plan (Basic, Shopify, Advanced) a store is on?

I’d like for my app pricing to be based on the merchant’s Shopify plan. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a nice way to map either ShopPlan.displayName or Shop.plan_name to one of the three non Shopify Plus plans (Basic, Shopify, Advanced - I can use ShopPlan.shopifyPlus to determine if the merchant is using a Shopify Plus plan.).

Is there a programmatic way to determine what plan a merchant is on?

It seems that this has been asked in the past with no official response from Shopify on the matter:

Thank you!

I haven’t yet implemented plan based pricing, but my plan when I do is the following:

Publishing a report is only available to Shopify Advanced and Shopify Plus merchants. If I attempt to create a report and fail due to some incompatible plan error then I know that the merchant’s plan is either “Basic” or “Shopify”. If I’m able to create a report then I can use ShopPlan.shopifyPlus to know whether they’re on an “Advanced” plan or are a “Shopify Plus” customer.
