Plans
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Basic (Free) | $0 | World-Class Bot Protection |
| Pro | $139/mo (monthly) / $99/mo (annual) | 100K monthly evals included, then $0.99/1K |
| Enterprise | Talk to Sales | Best-in-class protection from bots and human abuse |
The Basic (Free) plan at $0 covers World-Class Bot Protection, which is where an agent would start. The top plan (Enterprise) 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 hCaptcha, 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 47/100 overall.
