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 Better Stack, it can create an account itself; no sales call stands in the way.
Against that, 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 65/100 on adopt, against 52/100 overall.
What you are paying for
