xpay scored Kong as human-assisted: some plans are self-serve, others require sales contact. Kong publishes a pricing page with 5 discoverable plan tier(s). No per-unit price was found on the page; an agent has no direct way to estimate the cost of a single task. All advertised paths route to a sales conversation rather than a self-serve checkout. Public API documentation is reachable without an auth wall. For the full purchase simulation see the linked Agent-Ready Index scorecard.
