Comm100 is a general support platform with a dedicated higher education offer. Its higher education page describes the Comm100 AI Agent answering admissions and advising questions 24/7 and offloading over 80% of common inquiries, with live chat for students who need an advisor. Email management routes messages to the right admissions advisor, Queue Management handles drop-in advising with SMS or email reminders, and AI Insights tracks sentiment and early signs of application confusion. Ticketing and messaging cover 12 channels, from email and SMS to WhatsApp and Facebook. Comm100 says over 100 institutions have deployed it, including Thompson Rivers University. Pricing is clearer than most: Live Chat Startup is $39 per agent per month, or $31 billed annually, with a 30-day free trial. The AI Agent, though, is quoted by sales, so the full chatbot cost is not public.
