Medium store (1,000 conversations, 2 seats, 500 AI-resolved)
$1,118/mo
Suite Team × 2 + pay-as-you-go resolutions
  • Seats: 2 × $69 (monthly) = $138

$4,295/mo
Suite Team × 5 + pay-as-you-go resolutions

Assumptions: AI resolves 50% of conversations; monthly billing unless noted; taxes, add-ons, SMS/voice and phone fees excluded. How we calculate.

Note: Zendesk's Shopify App Store listing still shows a Suite Growth plan ($89) and Suite Enterprise at $150. Those weren't on zendesk.com's pricing page on the check date.
