Independent reviews note that entry-level enterprise contracts commonly start around $30,000 per year, with final cost depending on conversation volume, channels deployed, and contract terms.
FreemiumFree: $0 for everyone, limited to 2 teams and 250 issues. Basic: $10 per user/month, billed yearly. Business: $16 per user/month, billed yearly. Enterprise: Custom pricing, annual billing only.
