Zendesk remains the broadest ticketing system on this list. Its pricing page states that AI agents are included in every Suite and Support plan, priced on automated resolutions: 5 per agent each month on Support Team and Suite Team and 10 on Suite Professional, with committed extras at $1.50. Macros are a core strength, and the AI layer builds on them: suggested first replies draw on your existing macros and help center articles, and the suggested macros add-on recommends the macro other agents applied to similar tickets. Suite Team at $55 per agent per month billed yearly adds AI agents for messaging, the AI Action Builder and omnichannel support, and the marketplace lists 1,800+ apps and integrations. The catch is cost creep. The $19 Support Team plan is an email ticketing system, Copilot costs another $50 per agent, and monthly billing lifts every tier. Larger teams get the most from it.
