PRICING METHOD

How the two options are billed

How much does Fin for Zendesk cost?

The public integration offer is $49 per month with 50 included resolutions and $0.99 per additional billable outcome. Fin’s Zendesk ticket integration covers email and contact forms. Its Zendesk Agent identity may need a new paid Zendesk seat if all existing seats are in use.

$49 + max(0, eligible outcomes − 50) × $0.99 + new Zendesk seat cost

Minimum commitments apply. Confirm allowance treatment for Procedure handoffs, custom minimums and hard limits if they affect your scenario.

How much do Zendesk AI Agents cost?

Existing customers can still be on legacy billing or have the USD resolution allowance introduced May 18, 2026. Check your account’s billing model and the allowance available for the modeled month in Admin Center.

Legacy · max(0, resolutions − available count) × confirmed overage rate

New · verified resolutions × contract rate, less available USD allowance. Apply the confirmed overage rule to the uncovered demand.

If AI pauses at the limit, the estimate shows what demand the allowance can cover. The calculator withholds the cost ranking.

What counts as a billable AI event?

Fin can bill confirmed or assumed resolutions and successfully completed Procedures that are configured to hand off. Count at most one outcome per conversation, after accounting for reversals. Ordinary escalations do not count.

Zendesk verifies whether AI resolved a conversation without a human agent. On the new model, only verified resolutions draw from the allowance. Email is evaluated 72 hours after the first email. Web forms require compatible routing. A native custom sender may consume a Zendesk seat.

Estimate each vendor’s count independently. The percentage option rounds to the nearest whole event.

A worked example

With 1,000 email and form tickets, assume 60 eligible Fin resolution outcomes, 60 legacy Zendesk automated resolutions, 25 legacy resolutions left, a confirmed $2 overage rate and enough seats for both setups.

Fin · $49 + 10 × $0.99 = $58.90 per month added

Zendesk · 35 × $2.00 = $70.00 per month added

Five Suite Team seats at the public annual rate of $55 per seat per month give a $275 monthly equivalent and a $3,300 annual commitment. The resulting monthly equivalents are $333.90 and $345.00. The annual subscription is billed yearly and modeled usage overages are monthly.
