Know What You’re Paying For
Zendesk’s pricing page can be quite…confusing. You think you're getting a decent deal, then suddenly you're hit with add-on charges for stuff that should just be included.
Need compliance features? That'll cost extra. Integrations? More money.
We include everything upfront. No surprises, no gotcha fees, no headaches.

Zendesk Customers are Moving to Us Every Week
“The main goal for the owners was to get ourselves to a more secure environment where we could hold our chats in-house versus having them wherever Zendesk used to have them. So all the information about customers, the actual transcripts, and everything that could go through chat would have been held in-house and not out there in the cloud, who knows where.”
“Switching to Comm100 Live Chat was a no-brainer for us. Accessing data from chat is critical to us, and we quickly realized that Comm100 Live Chat’s reporting capabilities were so much better. The price of Comm100 is much more agreeable too. We are so glad we made the upgrade to Comm100.”
“The training was great. We had a few sessions with Maria where she walked us through the system. I recall even getting feedback from the staff at the time. They both very much appreciated the training.”
“Onboarding and setup from Comm100 and the service was good… it was the attention from Comm100’s company and the people responsible for onboarding… providing that level of service and attention that we need to get started.”
