In depth
How AI support pricing models compare
Per seat, per resolution, or flat. The model decides whether your bill grows with your team, your success, or neither.
01
Per-seat pricing punishes collaboration
Per-seat tools charge for every teammate who needs inbox access. Small teams respond by sharing logins or keeping engineers and founders out of support. That is backwards: the people who can actually fix a problem should be able to see the conversation.
SupportHQ has no per-seat pricing. Add your whole team to the unified inbox at no extra cost.
02
Per-resolution pricing punishes success
Some AI support vendors charge per conversation the AI resolves, often around a dollar each. That sounds fair until the agent gets good. A better knowledge base means more resolutions, which means a higher bill. Your incentive and the vendor's incentive point in different directions.
SupportHQ has no per-resolution fees. Plans include a monthly conversation allowance, and resolving more of them costs nothing extra. Read how much AI customer support costs for a worked cost-per-ticket example.

What the flat plans include
Starter is $29 per month (or $290 per year, two months free): 5 projects, 2,000 conversations per month, the AI agent, embeddable widget, unified inbox, knowledge base with website scraping, human handoff, and Telegram and Discord.
Growth is $49 per month (or $490 per year): unlimited projects, 3,000 conversations per month, larger knowledge base storage, higher scraping limits, and priority support. Full detail on the pricing page.

Trial, refunds, and custom plans
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. A card is required, and you are not charged if you cancel before the trial ends. A 14-day refund window applies after the trial.
Higher volume, multiple brands, or specific security and onboarding needs can be sized as a custom plan. Email [email protected] or book a call.
