Aissist charges for results: the Free plan covers up to 1,000 tickets a month, and Growth is billed per resolution at $0.2 to $0.6 depending on channel. That makes a bill hard to forecast. Insight add-ons are by contract, Enterprise requires contacting sales, and it assumes you already have a helpdesk. Prices checked on 2026-10-02.
Zapier connects 9,000+ apps and includes AI agents and chatbots, so you can build your own routing and replies; Professional is $19.99 per month for 750 tasks, with a free plan, billed by task rather than by resolution. Microsoft Copilot is an assistant tied into Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on web and mobile; Microsoft 365 Personal is $9.99 per month, with a free option. It helps agents draft replies but does not resolve tickets on its own.
