PaidZendesk AI is bundled into Zendesk's Support and Suite plans rather than sold on its own. Support Team starts around $19 per agent/month (annual billing) for email-only ticketing. Suite Team starts around $55 per agent/month and adds messaging, live chat, and voice. Suite Growth runs roughly $79 per agent/month, adding SLAs and CSAT surveys. Suite Professional runs $115 per agent/month, adding advanced routing, real-time analytics, and up to five help centers. Suite Enterprise is custom-quoted (previously listed around $169 per agent/month) and adds custom roles, sandbox environments, and multi-brand support. AI agents are included in every Support and Suite plan with a monthly automated-resolution allowance (roughly 5 resolutions per agent on Team plans, up to about 15 on Enterprise); overage is billed per resolution, at approximately $1.50 with committed volume or $2.00 pay-as-you-go. Copilot is a separate add-on at roughly $50 per agent/month, Quality Assurance is roughly $35 per agent/month, and Workforce Management is roughly $25 to $50 per agent/month. Monthly (non-annual) billing runs 15-30% higher than the annual rates above. A 14-day free trial is available; there is no permanent free plan.
