Handling customer emails as tracked tickets in a small support team
Combining chat, messaging and phone support in one queue
Resolving common questions with an AI agent that is billed only for requests it resolves without a human

Voice and SMS are add-ons with volume-based pricing not shown on the page
No free plan; the 14-day trial runs on Suite Professional
Support Team is email-focused; messaging, live chat and telephony need a Suite plan
Copilot costs extra ($50/agent/month paid yearly) except on Suite Enterprise + Copilot
