What would an AI chatbot cost you each month?

• Quoted plan price is the monthly price on the vendor's own pricing page for the billing period you pick, multiplied by your seats where the plan is priced per seat. We didn't record how each vendor states tax, so the tax basis is Unknown.
• Estimated usage and extras is what you'd pay beyond the plan's allowance: AI conversations, resolutions, outcomes, sessions, queries or tickets, at the vendor's published price, rounded up to whole packs where they're sold in packs. Where you'd go over and no price for more is published, it's Unknown. Where the vendor says a plan stops at its allowance, that plan is skipped.
• Estimated total is the two added together. Where a cheaper published plan from the same vendor covers your numbers, we use it and say so.
• Where a vendor bills per resolution or outcome, we count every AI conversation as billable, so those totals are a ceiling. Setup fees and add-ons aren't in the monthly total; setup is shown beside it.
• Annual prices are used only where the vendor publishes them that way. Where we hold only one billing period for a plan, we use it and say so in the row.
• Channels come from what each vendor's own page says, read on 2 and 3 November 2026. A channel we have no mention of leaves the tool out when you tick it.
• Intercom Fin on another helpdesk runs on a helpdesk you pay for elsewhere, so it's left out unless you tick that box, and its total doesn't include the helpdesk.
• Euro-priced tools are shown in euros and not ranked against dollar prices. Featured (paid) listings, if we ever sell them, sit at the top, are labelled and never take a number. Unknown totals are never numbered.
