The broader pricing information identifies the service as paid, says there is no free plan, and gives a pricing note of From $0.50/mo. These are separate listing details from the standalone usage plan. Teams assessing the service can focus on its stated traffic-policy controls, mutual TLS, multi-cluster coverage, hybrid deployment, and managed components. Web is the listed platform for access.
