About the help desk category
Help desks use different billing units: agents, included seats, AI sessions, or resolved conversations. A seat price alone cannot establish the cost of a support operation. Compare the channels, routing, reporting, and AI services your team will use.
How to choose: buying criteria for help desk
List paid agents and other collaborators, required inboxes and channels, workflow rules, and reporting needs. Estimate AI usage separately using each vendor's definition of a billable session or outcome. Test real support scenarios before assuming automation savings.
