Addons page: https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-kafka

Starting at $1,500/mo for 3 brokers, 150GB capacity, max 2 week retention. Plans up to 8 brokers, 2.4TB capacity, 6 week retention.

I'm torn because it's quite expensive and 150GB seems kind of small. However, it's been quite an undertaking to try to set up a Zookeeper and Kafka cluster myself in AWS.

Heroku is cool, but there are other options too for managed Kafka. Check out https://aiven.io/kafka and https://www.cloudkafka.com/ for two providers starting at 3 brokers/90GB at $200/mo and 1 broker/20GB at $99/mo respectively.
