What to look for in a Re:amaze alternative

  • AI that resolves conversations, not just suggests replies
  • Pricing that doesn’t force a tier upgrade for AI or a help center
  • Email, chat and phone in one inbox
  • Free seats for people who only review or add context
  • A migration path that lets you run both tools side by side

    • AI resolutions are $0.39 after 50 free each month, and only billed when the AI actually closes the conversation.
