| Pricing | $10 per user/month, billed yearly (Basic) · free tier: 14-day free trial covering everything in Basic and Pro, no credit card required; no free-forever tier on the live pricing page | $19/agent/month billed annually (Support Team — does not include the knowledge base) · free tier: No free plan; 14-day free trial on Suite Team |

| Best for | 20–300 person English- or French-speaking companies that want a dedicated best-of-breed knowledge base, will standardise on the $20 Pro tier, and already work in Slack plus Jira, Linear, Google Drive or HubSpot. | Organisations already on or migrating to Zendesk Suite for ticketing that want multilingual self-service and AI deflection tightly coupled to the ticket queue. |
| Avoid if | You need a permanent free tier, self-serve SSO/SCIM/audit logs without an Enterprise negotiation, heavy uncapped AI usage, multilingual UI beyond English and French, or a combined docs-plus-project-management workspace. | You need a standalone knowledge base, public docs site or internal wiki without a helpdesk, or you have a tight, predictable budget that cannot absorb unpublished AI usage rates and $55+/agent/month. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
