Customer Service Tools Free: Compare Plans
Customer service tools free can mean an ongoing plan with limits or a trial that ends. Compare the billing unit, team capacity, channels and AI allowance before you move customer support onto a new tool. Prices range from EUR 0 for the free plan to EUR 399 per month for the highest listed tier; paid plans also offer yearly billing.

momo plan details
Free: EUR 0
The Free plan includes one agent and one team member, a website widget, a shared helpdesk inbox and basic analytics. It comes with 2 MB of knowledge across up to 10 sources and a badge on the widget. The allowance is 30 AI conversations one time, not 30 every month. A conversation can contain up to 10 AI replies on Free. This can suit a solo operator who wants to try customer-facing answers grounded in business content and can work within a one-time allowance. It is not a recurring monthly volume budget.
Starter: EUR 29 per month or EUR 319 per year
Starter includes 500 AI conversations per month, one agent and two team members. The plan adds the website widget and email channel, a helpdesk inbox, a Help Center, basic analytics, and 20 MB of knowledge across up to 50 sources. It has no badge. Paid-plan AI conversations can contain up to 25 AI replies. Starter is the lowest paid plan, but the one-agent limit matters if several people need to operate as agents. The two team-member allowance and the agent count are separate limits.
Growth: EUR 129 per month or EUR 1,419 per year
Growth includes 2,000 AI conversations per month, three agents and five team members. It includes a Slack channel, API, Zapier and webhooks, advanced analytics, and 100 MB of knowledge across up to 200 sources. This tier is for a support team that needs the stated collaboration and connection options in addition to a larger monthly conversation allowance. The plan fee does not rise with each AI resolution; the included conversation allowance is the usage limit to plan around.
Scale: EUR 399 per month or EUR 4,389 per year
Scale includes 6,000 AI conversations per month, 10 agents and 10 team members. Its allowance is 500 MB of knowledge across up to 1,000 sources, with API, Zapier and webhooks plus advanced analytics. The listed live channels today are website widget, email and Slack; channel availability depends on the plan. Shopify is in preview, while WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger are coming soon, not available channels to budget for today. Yearly billing is 11 times the monthly price for every paid plan. Pricing is a flat fee with included AI conversations: there are no per-resolution fees or credit packs. The AI model is chosen through OpenRouter.

Yearly billing is eleven monthly payments
The annual prices are EUR 319 for Starter, EUR 1,419 for Growth and EUR 4,389 for Scale. Compare the allowance and team limits as well as the headline price: Free's 30 conversations are one time, while paid-plan allowances renew monthly.
Match the billing period to the support volume you expect to handle.
Team cost examples
Estimate the bill by team size
These examples use the published plan prices and the number of agents and teammates each plan includes. They are not a like-for-like comparison with tools priced per seat: the plan limits and billing units differ. Annual totals use the stated yearly prices, rather than multiplying a monthly price by 12.
Solo support
A solo operator can start on Free at EUR 0, with one agent and one team member. That includes 30 AI conversations one time, so it is a way to start without a recurring plan fee, not a continuing monthly conversation allowance. If the operator needs a paid monthly allowance, Starter costs EUR 29 per month or EUR 319 per year and includes 500 AI conversations per month. Starter has one agent and two team members. The annual bill is EUR 319; paying monthly for 12 months would total EUR 348. The difference follows from yearly billing being 11 times the monthly price.
Five-person team
For a team of five people who need agent capacity, Growth is the listed plan that includes five team members, with three agents. It costs EUR 129 per month or EUR 1,419 per year and includes 2,000 AI conversations per month. The annual price is below 12 monthly payments, which would total EUR 1,548. Check the distinction between agents and team members before choosing: Growth includes five team members, but not five agents.
Ten-person team
Scale includes 10 agents and 10 team members, so it is the listed tier for a team that needs those capacities. It costs EUR 399 per month or EUR 4,389 per year, with 6,000 AI conversations per month. Twelve monthly payments would total EUR 4,788. The annual price is EUR 4,389.
These examples do not add speculative onboarding, migration or channel charges. The stated pricing has a flat plan fee and included AI conversation allowance, with no per-resolution fee or credit packs. Before paying for any customer service tool, check whether its price is per user, per agent, per workspace, per conversation or tied to an add-on. Those units change the bill as people or usage increase. For example, a per-agent figure cannot be multiplied by a team size unless the number of billed agents and the billing period are clear. A separately priced AI add-on or resolution charge should be counted separately from the base plan. Upgrade when the included monthly conversation allowance, agent count, knowledge capacity or plan features no longer fit the support workflow.

Questions to ask before choosing a free tool
Check what “free” means for duration, team size and usage before moving a support queue.
Which customer service tools have a free plan instead of just a trial?
The evidence states that ProProfs Desk has a free plan and that Zoho Desk offers a 15-day trial rather than a forever-free plan. It also states that Tidio caps its free plan at 50 conversations per month. momo Free is an ongoing plan with a one-time allowance of 30 AI conversations; it is not a monthly allowance.
How many agents or conversations can I handle on a free plan?
Limits vary by tool, and do not always use the same unit: a tool may limit agents, users or conversations. momo Free includes one agent, one team member and 30 AI conversations one time, with up to 10 AI replies in a conversation. Tidio is stated to cap free-plan conversations at 50 per month.
Do free plans include live chat, AI replies, reporting and integrations?
Included features depend on the specific plan. momo Free includes a website widget and basic analytics, and its AI uses the business's own knowledge; it does not include the paid-plan monthly conversation allowance. For other tools, check the precise free-plan terms before assuming a feature such as live chat, advanced reporting or an integration is included.
What can make a free customer support tool cost more later?
A free plan can have limits on users, conversations, channels or features that lead a team to consider a paid tier. Separate costs can also apply to AI add-ons or usage: Tidio's Lyro AI and Flows are stated as separate add-ons, while Help Scout AI Answers is priced per resolution. Check the billing unit and any separately priced extras alongside the base plan.
How is a per-seat plan different from a workspace or usage-based plan?
A per-seat or per-agent price is multiplied by the number of billed people for the stated billing period. A flat plan fee instead covers the plan's included capacity, while usage-based pricing charges against a measured unit such as AI resolutions or sessions. Compare the unit, included allowance and any add-on charges before estimating a team bill.
When does a free trial differ from an ongoing free plan?
A free plan can remain available with limited features or user capacity, while a free trial provides access for a limited period before a decision to pay. Zoho Desk is stated to offer a 15-day trial and no forever-free plan. Treat a trial as a way to evaluate a tool, not as a recurring free tier.
