Zendesk Suite Team is $55/agent/mo and the Professional tier is $115/agent/mo. AI is an extra add-on. FoxChat is one flat $29 with unlimited team seats on Pro+ and the full AI included.
Zendesk is a ticketing system with chat bolted on. It's enterprise-priced for enterprise needs. If you're a small SaaS, founder team, or agency, you're paying for a CRM you don't use. FoxChat is built chat-first, AI-first, with the price model your accountant will not flag.
