Zendesk’s homepage says to move beyond deflection with AI agents that resolve issues end-to-end. Pricing is primarily seat-based (per agent, per month) with plan tiers that include different features. Support Team is $19 agent/month paid yearly. Another $115 agent/month paid yearly beside “Suite Team features, plus,” then names Suite Enterprise + Copilot with no second amount. AI agents are included in every Suite and Support plan and priced on the successful outcomes they deliver.
The $19 Support Team line lists email, ticket routing, and prebuilt analytics. The $115 line lists AI Admin, Copilot, writing tools, quick reports, skills-based routing, and an IVR phone tree, but it does not price the Suite Professional heading that sits between Suite Team and Suite Enterprise + Copilot. Resolution rows, a 5-use cap, action credits, phone numbers, and two $50 lines sit off the seat.

Know the trade-offs
The $115 line sits beside “Suite Team features, plus,” not beside the words Suite Professional.
Resolutions, the 5-use allowance, the 500-use cap, and action credits are separate from the seat.
Tickets, phone, AI resolutions, and employee ITSM.
Email, website chat, and phone in one queue
Customer service means manage and resolve inquiries across channels in one place. Tickets are tracked, organized, and resolved together. Messaging reaches a website or mobile app, and voice manages calls with AI. A heading keeps conversation history and customer context on that ticket. Support Team includes email and ticketing, ticket routing, and prebuilt analytics. Provide live phone support to your customers with toll-free and international numbers, voicemail, and extensions, or pick a number from 75+ countries. WhatsApp, Apple Messages for Business, and Google Business Messages are named. A heading says transcribe and summarize every call.
Zendesk AI agents are included in every Suite and Support plan, with pricing based on the successful outcomes they deliver. Each plan includes automated resolutions so AI agents can autonomously resolve customer issues without human intervention, labeled up to 10k per year. Cells repeat $1.50 beside pay-as-you-go resolutions and $2.00 immediately before Copilot triage, which classifies every ticket. The $115 line groups Copilot with AI Admin, writing tools, quick reports, skills-based routing, and an IVR phone tree. Knowledge is described as power every resolution with connected knowledge. Each agent receives 5 uses per month, shared across the team, capped at 500 uses per instance even above 100 agents. The lines do not name which control spends a use.
Action credits follow the subscription term and are included with every Zendesk plan on that term. Monthly Suite Enterprise access is 225K actions. Annual Suite Enterprise subscriptions will have access to 2.7M actions per year. Actions performed by Copilot triggers will not count towards action credits. Purchased credits spread across the term. Workflows, a sandbox, custom permissions, and prebuilt reporting are headings. The marketplace line says find 1,800+ apps, partners, and integrations. Credit card numbers can be redacted in a custom field, and email, phone, and card numbers can be removed from agent conversations. “Requires QA add-on” sits near that resolution row. Support hours are weekdays 10am-4pm ET, with a 99.95% uptime SLA.
The employee page says bring the Zendesk support you trust to ITSM to streamline and automate tickets, incidents, knowledge and asset management. Headings add onboarding and problem and change work. It cites 17,000 teams and a 14-day risk-free try, with no dollar amount. The technology page is a different job: automate high-volume requests, unify data, and scale support without adding headcount, from onboarding to troubleshooting. Headings add one workspace instead of five and an AI copilot for every role.
Uses Support Team for a shared inbox that needs core essentials. At $19 agent/month paid yearly the shown pieces are email and ticketing, ticket routing, and prebuilt analytics. Live phone support to your customers is a different row, so do not assume numbers are inside the $19 list.
Price seats and resolutions together
Agents can resolve customer issues without human intervention inside each plan’s allowance. Then read the $1.50 pay-as-you-go cells and the $2.00 cells before Copilot triage. On an annual Suite Enterprise term, subscriptions will have access to 2.7M actions per year, and Copilot triggers will not count towards action credits.
Point staff requests at ITSM
A suggested employee path stays on the ITSM page: tickets, incidents, knowledge, and assets. The trial sentence is 14 days and risk-free, not the homepage’s no-credit-card line. That path is a suggested workflow. There is no ITSM price. If customer service is already in use, the page asks what changes.

Outcome pricing sits on top of seats. It includes.50 beside pay-as-you-go resolutions and $2.00 before Copilot triage. Do not treat the $115 line as a Suite Professional price. Monthly dollar amounts were not in the public text. A messaging row says 1,000 included ($50/pack of additional 2,500 MAUs).
Choose Intercom when the shortlist is that product’s own site, not this seat-priced ticket and phone ladder.
These Zendesk pages document Support Team ticketing, suite feature lines, phone numbers, AI agents billed on successful outcomes, and an ITSM trial. They do not describe Intercom.
Choose Drift when the job is the Salesloft revenue listing, not a customer or employee ticket queue.
Zendesk’s pages center on tickets, calls, messaging channels, employee ITSM, and per-agent plans. They do not describe seller cadence or forecast tours.
Zendesk: common questions
How is the public price structured?
It is primarily seat-based, per agent per month, with tiers that include different features. Support Team is $19 agent/month paid yearly, and annual billing is marked 20% off. Other shown amounts are the $115 line, two $50 lines, the $83 line, the $1.50 cells, and the $2.00 cells. Suite Enterprise + Copilot has no amount.
They are included in every Suite and Support plan and priced on successful outcomes. Each plan includes resolutions so agents can resolve customer issues without human intervention, labeled up to 10k per year. Pay-as-you-go resolutions are shown at $1.50. The $2.00 figure sits immediately before Copilot triage. The page does not define a committed rate beyond that pay-as-you-go label.
Provide live phone support to your customers with toll-free and international numbers, voicemail, and extensions, or choose a number from 75+ countries and port an existing one. Named channels include WhatsApp, Apple Messages for Business, and Google Business Messages. A row mentions a 99.95% uptime SLA.
Each agent receives 5 uses per month, shared across the team, with a cap of 500 uses per instance even above 100 agents. The feature those uses spend is not named. Annual Suite Enterprise subscriptions will have access to 2.7M actions per year, and monthly ones 225K. Actions performed by Copilot triggers will not count towards action credits.
Does the ITSM page publish a price or a privacy rule?
It publishes no dollar amount and does not answer its heading about employee data. It offers a 14-day risk-free try. Credit-card redaction and removal of email, phone, and card numbers in conversations are on the customer pricing page, near a repeated Requires QA add-on note.
