Unused credits do not roll over. ## Good for - Teams that want AI on top of the help desk they already use - Support teams that prefer a fixed monthly price over per-resolution fees - Companies with a few thousand tickets a month ## Worth knowing - The entry paid price is $299 a month for 500 credits, and the free trial lasts 7 days. - Credits reset each month and do not roll over; agents pause when they run out unless overage is turned on. - SSO and MFA cost from $199 a month and priority support from $299 a month unless you buy Enterprise. - Default support is eesel first, then a human within a few days. ## ToolGPA grades **GPA: 1.8 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. eesel AI sits on top of your help desk and answers tickets, billed by credits rather than seats, from $299 a month for 500 credits.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 67 of the 92 other help desk and live chat tools grade higher. It costs $3,588 a year. - You could make: Help desk and reports: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Zendesk, Slack and Google Drive among them. - You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
