Source: https://www.assembled.com/pricing ## Key features - **Forecasting:** Machine-learning forecasts for each support channel, with N-week, seasonal and Prophet options or an uploaded forecast. - **Schedule building:** Recurring templates on every plan; AI-powered schedule generation and shift swaps start on Pro. - **Real-time management:** Adherence monitoring and intraday adjustments, with live and historical staffing analytics. - **Automated time off:** Pro and above approve or deny time-off requests against staffing needs and SLA thresholds. - **Human and AI planning:** Workforce plans can cover both human agents and the vendor's AI agents, which are sold as a separate product. ## Good for - Customer support teams planning staffing around ticket and call volume - Teams that run a helpdesk or contact-center platform and want forecasts from its data - Support operations outsourcing to several BPO vendors ## Worth knowing - Workforce management is priced per agent plus a platform fee that the page does not state; a quote is needed. - The page does not say whether the per-agent prices are billed monthly or annually. - AI Agents start at $0.65 per conversation and AI Copilot at $35 per month, both sold separately. - Built for support and contact-center teams, not hourly retail or restaurant rostering. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. Assembled does forecasting and scheduling for support teams, and plans for AI agents too. The useful parts (AI scheduling, automated time off, swaps) start on a $45 per agent plan, plus a platform fee the page doesn't state. - **Value for money: D.** Core is $25 per agent a month, but AI scheduling, ML forecasting and shift swaps start on Pro at $45, plus a platform fee that is not stated. That is above the category's dearer quarter of $37.50. - **Free plan and trial: F.** Nothing free is listed: no free plan and no trial on the pages we read. - **Features: B.** Forecasting, scheduling, real-time adherence, automated time off and planning for human and AI agents. It covers the job for support teams. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It needs a platform fee quote, integrations and an onboarding process. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, with integrations such as Amazon Connect, Dixa, evaluagent, Slack and Confluence, plus API access on Enterprise.

What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 33 of the 49 other shift scheduling apps grade higher. It costs $300 a year. - You could make: Time off and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Amazon Connect, Confluence and Dixa among them, and has an API. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
