AI agent and usage billing
Updated Nov 9, 2026
Available on: Starter, Growth, Pro, Enterprise. This feature is in beta: it is still being built and may change.
Your plan's price covers your seats and the AI copilot actions included per seat. A few things are charged by use instead: resolutions by the AI agent, and SMS, WhatsApp and voice minutes sent through our account.
Prices
| Add-on | Price |
|---|---|
| AI agent resolution | $0.50 (€0.50) each |
| SMS through our account | $0.012 (€0.012) per message segment |
| WhatsApp through our account | $0.03 (€0.03) per message |
| Voice through our account | $0.03 (€0.03) per minute |
Prices are before tax. The AI agent needs Starter or higher. SMS, WhatsApp and voice need a plan with messaging channels.
When an AI agent resolution is counted
The AI agent answers customers on email, web messenger and WhatsApp tickets. A resolution is counted once per ticket, when the AI agent solved it without a human:
- the customer confirmed the answer helped, by message or with the "solved" link in the email; or
- the customer did not reply within the AI agent's auto-resolve window.
The ticket is then solved and tagged ai_agent and ai_resolved. A phone call the AI handled from start to finish counts the same way. Not counted:
- a hand-off to your team (the ticket gets an internal note with the reason and is tagged
ai_handoff); - any ticket a person on your team has worked on, because the AI agent never answers those.
Copilot actions (drafts, summaries, translations) are not resolutions. They come from your plan's pooled allowance. See fair use and usage.
How usage is charged
- Usage is charged only on a paid plan. During a trial, and on the Free plan, it is counted but not charged.
- Each month's usage is charged after the month ends, as one line per add-on on your next invoice.
- Admin Center, Integrations, Plan and billing, Usage lists each add-on with the units used this month, how many are billable and what they come to.
- An admin can set a Monthly limit per add-on there. When the limit is reached, the AI agent hands new conversations to your team instead. Billing contacts get an email at 80 % and at 100 % of the limit.
SMS, WhatsApp and voice on your own account
If you connect your own Twilio or Meta account, you pay them directly and ChaosDesk charges nothing for those messages and minutes. They are still counted, so you can see your usage.
