What to look for

Pricing model

Per-seat pricing scales linearly with headcount. Flat pricing stays the same whether you have 5 or 50 agents. Calculate your cost at your expected team size, not the entry tier.

AI included vs add-on

Many help desks charge extra for AI — per agent, per session, or per resolution. Check what's included in the base plan and what triggers an add-on fee.

Channels you actually use

Omnichannel sounds great until you're paying for phone support you don't use. Match the channels to your actual customer behavior.

API access

If you'll integrate with your own product or workflow, check which plans include API access and what the rate limits are. Some tools gate the API behind higher tiers.

Data residency

If GDPR or data sovereignty matters, verify where your data is actually stored — not just where the company is headquartered.
