Gotchas
- Only yearly prices are shown — month-to-month is “typically a higher effective monthly rate” but not priced.
- AI agents bill per automated resolution and the rate is not published, so heavy AI use is a quote.
- Copilot is a $50/agent add-on — Suite Professional + Copilot is $165/agent/mo.
