#2Trying it out now. For those who have already: how does Gravitee compare w/ Apigee, Kong, API Gateway etc.
Re: Gravitee: Open-Source API Gateway
#3Why none of these API gateways offer monetization out of the box? I'm curious. Is that a not well-demanded feature?
I have researched a lot of them and none have a straight way to do metered billing and if they somehow do, they are prohibitively expensive.
Does somebody know of an API gateway solution that offers this?

Kong has Community Edition and an Enterprise Edition with non-free/proprietary features (same model as MySQL, Nginx, GitLab, & Redis). It's called the open-core model. Company is signaling that it intends to offer all features open source and without restriction.

Keen to know that too. We are heavily relying on Kong at my work.

Billing is a hard issue since there is no common API to do that. All payment gateways are different. And what is most important, it lot of cases it requires some application logic, on how exactly you want to bill the user: for example partly static, partly dynamic.
What API gateway can do, is to provide you with a way to set a quota for a given user, track analytics, and have it all accessed in a programmatic way, so with a few API queries, you can know how much to bill the user. At least that's how most of the Gateways, like Tyk, do.

#8Wso2 has a fully ASLv2 licensed API management solution which also includes a high performance gateway. It has monetization items included. Deployed to 1000s of accounts and running some environments with billions of transactions a day. Excited to take a look at this new entrant.

API Gateway is closed source for one. Kong is written in Lua, for better or worse.

Apigee has some monetization features...
