There is no free entry plan, so an agent needs a paid account before its first call.
Can an agent buy this on its own?
A price is only half the question. The other half is whether software can get from landing on the site to making a paid call without a person, which is what the AgentReady measures under adopt.
For PlanetScale, no sales call stands in the way; the signup flow is one an agent can actually complete.
Against that, account creation needs a person; credentials must be minted by hand in a dashboard. Each of those is a point where an unattended run stops and waits for a human.
That works out to 55/100 on adopt, against 64/100 overall.
