Where sources disagree
Continuum (2026-08) says Konnect starts "around $105/month per gateway with a million requests included". The Kong pricing page on 2026-11-10 says Plus is "From $25/month plus usage", with 1 million requests included and $200 a month per additional 1 million requests (10 million a month maximum). The vendor page is current and the calculator uses it; the $105 figure appears to be an older price.
