Reported limitation

The live pricing page is JavaScript-rendered and does not expose figures to simple fetches, making independent verification harder.

Reported limitation

AI Agent pricing is only partly published: a $250/month starting figure with an undisclosed per-outcome automation fee.

Reported limitation

Automated Rules and AI replies consume billable tickets, so automation does not reduce ticket costs.
