Sell Whisper AI is an AI-first alternative to Zendesk for teams that want an AI agent answering first on every channel, on flat monthly plans rather than a ticketing suite priced per agent.

Zendesk includes AI agents on its Suite and Support plans, inside a ticketing workflow built for routing, SLA policies and reporting. Sell Whisper AI's AI agent is the first responder on all 13 of its channels, escalating to a person only when a rule triggers: sentiment, topic, or an explicit request for a person. Plans run from $0 to $349 a month, with no per-seat price.

Teams that want a full switch can move onto Sell Whisper AI's own channels. The Enterprise plan adds custom integrations, dedicated support and advanced security for larger teams.
