ResolveX vs Zoho Deskthe Zoho Desk alternative with AI employees
Zoho Desk is the help desk in the Zoho suite, with the Zia assistant. ResolveX puts AI employees on your chat, email and phone — with a shared inbox, help center and sales CRM — for $15 per seat.
- One $15 seat includes AI, help center, messenger and voice — no tier to climb to unlock features you already need from Zoho Desk.
- AI resolutions are $0.39 after 50 free each month, and only billed when the AI actually closes the conversation.
- AI employees go beyond answering: they update your CRM, book meetings and issue refunds with approvals.
- Your company runs on Zoho One and wants everything under one Zoho licence.
- You need Zoho’s deep configuration options and are happy to administer them.
Zoho Desk pricing model: Per-agent tiers, with AI features on higher plans.
