The traditional programs are around 10 kyu, but the new ones are 2 to 4 kyu, at least on KGS. I've seen some handicap games against dan players that are

wow. that's impressive. can one buy these or just play the on kgs?

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned Leela. It is the first MC program to be offered for sale.

By the end of October, we should know whether Leela is stronger than the traditional programs that are on the market.

A further question: what features need to be added to the current MC programs for them to compete with the weaker traditional programs which currently dominate the computer Go market? If this market was like the computer chess market of the 80s-90s, then Rémi, Sylvain, and GCP would be making comfortable incomes off of their work by now.
