Pricing teardown

The seat fees are just the starting price.

Zendesk pricing looks simple until you add agents, AI, and add-ons. Here's what helpdesks really cost per ticket, and what a fully managed alternative costs instead.

No commitment. No pitch deck. Just a real conversation.

The math nobody shows you

Software is the smallest line item.

A helpdesk licence is 10–20% of what support actually costs. The rest is the team that runs it.

Typical monthly cost of running support for a Shopify brand at ~1,000 tickets/month.

How automation earns trust

Crawl. Walk. Run.

Your customers never meet an unsupervised bot. Automation activates per ticket category only after the AI proves 95% accuracy against human responses.

Phase 1

Shadow Mode

AI drafts responses silently in the background while humans reply. We measure policy accuracy, tone, and sentiment. Zero customer risk.

Phase 2

Co-Pilot

AI assists your dedicated agents. Every suggestion is approved or corrected by a human, and the AI learns from real workflows.

Phase 3

Autopilot

Categories that reach 95% accuracy go autonomous. Human auditing stays on, and anything sensitive escalates to a person instantly.

Same story.

We replaced a 3-person support team with a single Kim agent. Same quality, way less overhead. Our CSAT actually went up.
