This is a good question -- there is a lot of overlap in functionality. The main difference is that Kong only operates at level 7 and supports only APIs. But for APIs it has many more features beyond what Envoy can offer, and the deployment is more sensible: Envoy requires proxies at both sides of the communication, while Kong requires just a gateway.
I see room for both products, really: handle all APIs via Kong while having Envoy safeguard all the lower level communication (including, perhaps, TLS). Another big difference is that Istio+Envoy is transparent, while if you use Kong you need to configure the whole application to use it as its gateway.
