The Starter plan at $5/mo covers Up to 1 vCPU / 2 GB per Instance, 1 concurrent build, 1 custom domain, $5/mo usage credits, which is where an agent would start. The top plan (Business) is quoted rather than listed, so anything at that volume goes through a person.
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 Unkey, it can create an account itself.
Against that, a sales call gates access; the signup flow assumes a human at a browser; 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 56/100 overall.
