For detailed information on plans and pricing, you'll want to contact sales. We use GitHub primarily for bug reports and technical usage questions.

All Konnect plans are able to use KIC control planes. These use Kubernetes resources and KIC to create configuration as you're currently used to. KIC fowards the configuration it generates to Konnect. You can then view, but not modify, that configuration in the Konnect GUI.

When using a paid Konnect plan, KIC pulls a license from Konnect and provides it to the proxy, enabling paid proxy features. On the Plus plan, Konnect will then tally the number of paid resources in that generated configuration and charge you accordingly.

I'm not sure if you're asking about Konnect Plus or the different gateway images. "Plus" is specifically the pay-as-you-go Konnect plan. You can also use the Kong Gateway Enterprise image in free mode without a license or Konnect integration. This option is entirely on-premise and provides a locally-hosted GUI.
