How does Front's pricing actually work?

⚡

TL;DR: Front splits into two bills: a per-seat platform fee ($25 / $65 / $105 per user per month) and a separate AI bill. The assist layer (Copilot, Smart QA, Smart CSAT) is priced per seat, and the Autopilot agent is priced per conversation. The AI is never included in the seat price except partially on Enterprise.

I think of Front as two invoices. The first is the platform: a per-seat license for the shared inbox, billed monthly per user. The second is the AI, built as a suite of unbundled add-ons you turn on one at a time.

Breakdown of a Front invoice: the platform seat plus Copilot, Smart QA, Smart CSAT and Autopilot as separate AI charges.

Those add-ons split into two billing models. The assist layer, meaning Copilot (agent assist), Smart QA (automated quality scoring) and Smart CSAT (automated satisfaction scoring), is priced per seat, so it scales with your team size. The autonomous agent, Autopilot, is priced per conversation, so it scales with your ticket volume.

The only free bits on every plan are Front's native AI touches: Topics, Compose, Translate and Summarize. Everything with real deflection or scoring power costs extra, and I've confirmed all of it on Front's pricing page (re-fetched July 2026).

Here's the whole model on one table, the version worth screenshotting before you talk to sales.

Component	Price	How it's billed	Notes
Starter seat	$25	per user / month (annual)	≤10 seats, single channel, ≤10 rules
Professional seat	$65	per user / month (annual)	≤50 seats, omnichannel, SSO/SCIM
Enterprise seat	$105	per user / month (annual)	Bundles Copilot + Smart QA + Smart CSAT; annual-only
Copilot (agent assist)	$20	per seat / month	Add-on on Starter/Pro; included on Enterprise
Smart QA (AI quality scoring)	$20	per seat / month	Add-on on Starter/Pro; included on Enterprise
Smart CSAT (AI satisfaction scoring)	$10	per seat / month	QA + CSAT bundle is $25/seat; included on Enterprise
Autopilot (AI agent)	from $0.05/conversation → $0.89/resolution	per conversation, up to per resolution (Talk to Sales)	Sales-gated; excluded from the trial; English-only
Native AI (Topics, Compose, Translate, Summarize)	Free	included	On every plan

What do Front's per-seat plans cost, and what AI is included?

⚡

TL;DR: Starter is $25, Professional $65, Enterprise $105 per user per month on annual billing (24% off monthly). Only Enterprise bundles the assistive AI (Copilot, Smart QA, Smart CSAT). On Starter and Professional every one of those is a paid add-on, and Autopilot is an add-on on all three tiers.

Front's platform ladder has three rungs, all quoted per user per month on an annual contract. Here's how Front's pricing page lists them:

Starter, $25/seat. Up to 10 seats, a single channel, up to 10 rules. You get the free native AI (Topics, Compose, Translate, Summarize), but Copilot, Smart QA and Smart CSAT are all paid add-ons.

Professional, $65/seat. Up to 50 seats, omnichannel inbox, macros, more rules and workspaces, SSO and SCIM. The assist layer is still paid on top, which I'd factor into the real seat price.

Enterprise, $105/seat. This is the first tier that includes Copilot, Smart QA and Smart CSAT. It also unlocks unlimited rules, a multi-language knowledge base and custom roles. Autopilot is still a separate add-on even here (yes, even at $105), and Enterprise is annual-only.

Two structural things catch teams out. First, you can't mix plans across one organization: everybody's on the same tier, so one power user who needs Enterprise features drags the whole seat count up to $105. Second, the add-on math works against Professional:

Add the full assist suite to Professional and you pay more per seat than the Enterprise sticker. Professional is $65, plus Copilot ($20), plus Smart QA ($20), plus Smart CSAT ($10). That's $115/seat, versus the $105 Enterprise tier that bundles all three.

Full AI assist suite on Professional costs $115 per seat, more than the $105 Enterprise seat that bundles the same tools.

The add-ons nudge you onto Enterprise, which is almost certainly the point. So if you're going to lean on the assist layer across the team, price Enterprise first and don't assume Professional-plus-add-ons is cheaper.

How much does Front Autopilot (the AI agent) cost?

⚡

TL;DR: Autopilot lists at "starting at $0.05/conversation" with a Talk-to-Sales CTA. That's a floor, and the real rate sits behind a sales call. Front's own community post documents the top of the range at $0.89 per resolution. The billing unit is now the conversation, so you pay something on every conversation Autopilot handles, resolved or not.

Autopilot is Front's autonomous AI agent, the one that actually answers customers while Copilot just assists the agent. It's also the line item Front is coyest about, and the one I get the most questions on. On the pricing page it reads "Starting at $0.05 / conversation" next to a Talk to Sales button.

"Starting at" is doing a lot of work there: it's a floor, and the real rate, the volume tiers and any minimums all sit behind a sales call. You can still pin down the top of the range from Front's own materials, though.

I dug it out of Front's Autopilot announcement post: Front states Autopilot is billed at $0.89 per Resolution, "defined as when the AI delivers a complete response without human intervention," and adds that "Drafts do not count; only successful Resolutions are billed." That same post points you to a sales email address for pricing.

Reconciling Front's own two published endpoints, here's where I land. Front advertises a floor of $0.05/conversation and documents a full $0.89/resolution at the top.

In between sits a sales-gated graduated range: you pay a little on conversations Autopilot merely touches or triages, scaling up toward $0.89 when it fully resolves. I read the marketing-page number as the per-conversation unit, with the per-resolution figure on a separate line.

This is where I slow buyers down: per-conversation and per-resolution sound alike and work very differently. Per-resolution billing means you only pay when the AI actually succeeds, so a conversation it can't handle costs you nothing. Per-conversation billing means you pay on engagement, every conversation the agent works, resolved or not.

Billing models compared: per-conversation (Front Autopilot), per-resolution (Intercom Fin), per-ticket flat (My AskAI).

Front's Autopilot is the costlier of the two, because it layers a per-conversation floor underneath the resolution rate. You're paying something on the misses as well as the hits. That's the line I make sure buyers model first, because it tips the real bill above a clean per-resolution estimate.

Two more things worth knowing before you commit. Autopilot is officially English-only, and it's excluded from the free trial with no sandbox or simulation mode, so you evaluate it on live customer tickets or not at all.

What do Copilot, Smart QA and Smart CSAT add per seat?

⚡

TL;DR: Copilot is $20/seat/month, Smart QA $20/seat/month, Smart CSAT $10/seat/month (QA + CSAT bundle $25). Per seat means you pay for every agent on the plan, including light users, whether they touch the AI or not.

Alongside the autonomous agent, Front sells three assistive AI products, all priced per seat per month:

Copilot, $20/seat/month. Agent assist: suggested replies, drafting, summarizing a thread for the human who's about to answer.

Smart QA, $20/seat/month. AI quality scoring across conversations, so you're not hand-sampling for QA.

Smart CSAT, $10/seat/month. AI-scored satisfaction on conversations that never got a survey back.

If you want both, there's a QA + CSAT bundle at $25/seat, the pairing I see most often. All three are included on Enterprise and are paid add-ons on Starter and Professional.

The billing model is the thing I'd watch. Because these are per seat, you pay for every licensed agent on the plan, whether or not they actually lean on the AI. I watch this one catch teams: a ten-person crew where three people live in Copilot and seven barely open it still pays Copilot on all ten seats.

There's no usage metering and no way to license the assist layer for a subset of the team. One TrustRadius reviewer sums up the general point: "Add-ons for chatbots, AI, workforce management, etc., are not included in the already higher price."

That's the assistive stack in a sentence: real features that land on top of an already-premium seat, across the whole seat count. I'd budget that carefully.

What does Front AI actually cost at 1k / 10k / 50k conversations a month?

⚡

TL;DR: At 1,000 conversations a month you're around $1,048; at 10,000 around $7,930; at 50,000 around $36,400, modeling Autopilot at the documented $0.89/resolution and a 70% resolution rate. Even at low volume the AI bill rivals the seat bill, and past 10k it dominates the invoice.

What the AI actually adds up to, once the seats, the assist layer and Autopilot stack together, is the number most "Front pricing" write-ups leave out. I've modeled Autopilot at its documented $0.89/resolution, the comparable per-resolution number, with the $0.05/conversation floor noted as an additional charge on conversations Autopilot touches but doesn't resolve. In other words, these totals are the floor of what you'd really pay, because the per-conversation charge on the misses isn't baked in.

The resolution-rate assumption follows our benchmark corpus: a 70% field-median resolution rate as the headline, with a conservative 50% sensitivity alongside. (The benchmark is aggregate and directional, so take it with a grain of salt.) Seat counts map to volume in the usual way: 5 agents at 1k, 20 at 10k, 50 at 50k.

Here's the full stack at all three volumes (seats + Copilot + Autopilot at the documented $0.89/resolution):

Volume	Seats	Copilot	Autopilot (70% × $0.89)	Monthly bill (70%)	Monthly bill (50%)	Per resolved conv (70%)
1,000 conv · 5 agents (Pro)	$325	$100	$623	~$1,048	~$870	~$1.50
10,000 conv · 20 agents (Pro)	$1,300	$400	$6,230	~$7,930	~$6,150	~$1.13
50,000 conv · 50 agents (Ent)	$5,250 (Copilot incl.)	incl.	$31,150	~$36,400	~$27,500	~$1.04

At 1,000 conversations / month (small team)

At this volume the seats and Copilot are around 40% of the bill and the AI is the rest. So even for a five-person team, the AI already costs about as much as the platform, which is the number that surprises most people I show it to. Drop to a conservative 50% resolution and you're near $870, and the picture holds: the AI is a full co-equal line item you budget for from the start.

At 10,000 conversations / month (mid-market)

Here the balance tips hard: Autopilot alone is around 78% of the bill, and the seats and Copilot are the minority line. This is the classic per-resolution trap: the better the AI does, the more you pay. It's also the volume where teams start pricing alternatives.

Video preview — I Let AI Agents Resolve 10,000 Support Tickets, Here's How Much It Cost

Add Smart QA ($20/seat) and Smart CSAT ($10/seat) across the 20 seats and you're adding another ~$600/month on top. I'd budget for that from day one, because most teams switch them on within the quarter.

At 50,000 conversations / month (high volume)

At 50k I've moved the model onto Enterprise ($105/seat, Copilot bundled) because at that scale you're on Enterprise anyway. The per-resolution charge is now roughly 85% of the invoice, and the seats barely matter. The effective cost per resolved conversation settles around $1.04, and remember that's before the per-conversation floor on everything Autopilot handled but didn't resolve, and before the real sales-gated rate, which you won't know until you've had the call.

How do I model my own Front AI bill?

The math above runs on my assumptions. Yours will differ on seat count, resolution rate and which assist tools you switch on. Paste the prompt below into ChatGPT or Claude, fill in the brackets, and it builds the same stacked estimate for your numbers.

It walks Front's three layers in order: the per-seat platform fee, the per-seat assist add-ons, and Autopilot's per-conversation-to-per-resolution charge. I've told it to flag the sales-gated Autopilot rate as an estimate rather than guess a number, because the real rate only comes from the sales call.

You are helping me model my monthly Front AI bill. Front stacks three billing
layers, and I want the total plus an effective cost per resolved conversation.

My inputs:
- Monthly conversation volume: [e.g. 10,000]
- Number of agent seats: [e.g. 20]
- Front plan: [Starter $25 / Professional $65 / Enterprise $105 per seat/month, annual]
- Assist tools I want on: [Copilot $20/seat, Smart QA $20/seat, Smart CSAT $10/seat —
  Enterprise bundles all three at no extra cost]
- Assumed Autopilot resolution rate: [e.g. 70%]

Calculate, showing each layer as a separate line:
1. Platform seats = seats × plan price.
2. Assist add-ons = seats × (sum of the per-seat tools I listed above), unless I'm
   on Enterprise — in which case they're bundled at $0.
3. Autopilot resolutions = (volume × resolution rate) × $0.89 per resolution.
4. Autopilot per-conversation floor = the un-resolved conversations
   (volume × (1 − resolution rate)) × $0.05, shown as its own line, because Front
   bills something on conversations Autopilot touches but doesn't resolve.

Then give me: the monthly total, the effective cost per resolved conversation, and
the split between platform / assist / Autopilot as percentages.

Front's real Autopilot rate is sales-gated. The $0.89/resolution and $0.05/conversation
figures are public anchors, not a quote — label the Autopilot total "estimate, confirm
on a sales call" rather than presenting it as final. Don't invent a volume-discount rate.

What the Front pricing page doesn't tell you (hidden costs)

⚡

TL;DR: Four line items you find mid-deployment: Autopilot's real rate is sales-gated, the per-seat AI stacks on light users, contracts over $25k ARR carry a mandatory onboarding fee, and you can't trial Autopilot before you buy.

The pricing page is accurate about the seats and vague about everything expensive. Here's what I watch customers run into once they're actually deploying.

Hidden cost 1: Autopilot's real rate is behind a sales call

The page shows "from $0.05/conversation" and nothing else: no published volume tiers, no minimums, no ceiling. The real rate you'll pay is whatever sales quotes you, and the only documented anchor is the $0.89/resolution top of the range. You cannot budget Autopilot accurately from public information (and I think that's deliberate), which is a problem when it's the single biggest line item at volume.

Hidden cost 2: the per-seat AI stacks on light users, and Pro-plus-add-ons beats Enterprise

Because Copilot, Smart QA and Smart CSAT are per seat, every licensed agent carries them, including part-timers and occasional users who never touch the AI. And as covered above, the full suite on Professional ($115/seat) costs more than the Enterprise sticker ($105/seat), so the "cheaper" plan plus add-ons is often the more expensive one.

Hidden cost 3: onboarding fees and channel surcharges

Front applies a mandatory onboarding package on contracts above $25k ARR, a one-off that doesn't appear on the self-serve page. There are channel surcharges too. WhatsApp is billed at Meta's per-conversation cost plus a 20% Front admin fee, raising your API rate limit runs $200/month per 100 requests/minute, and Workforce Management, if you want it, is another $20/seat/month.

Hidden cost 4: you can't trial Autopilot before you buy

Autopilot is excluded from the 14-day trial, and there's no sandbox or simulation mode. So the flagship agent, the expensive one on the opaque rate, is the one thing you can't evaluate self-serve, which I find odd.

You either commit and test on live customer tickets, or you don't test it at all. For a per-conversation product where the real rate is negotiated, that's a gap I'd want closed before signing.

What do real Front customers say about the invoice?

⚡

TL;DR: The recurring theme in billing-specific reviews is consistent: the AI feels bolted onto an already-premium seat price, and some teams don't see a return on it. Front's overall reviews are strong, but they cover the inbox, and the AI stack is a separate question.

I went through TrustRadius and Capterra for billing-specific comments, setting aside the general praise. The verifiable complaints are relatively few, and they cluster on one theme: the AI is an add-on on top of an already-premium seat, and teams struggle to see a return.

"Add-ons for chatbots, AI, workforce management, etc., are not included in the already higher price." — TrustRadius reviewer

The structural gripe comes down to this: the seat is already at the top of the market, and the AI bolts on top of that seat, separate from it. At least one TrustRadius reviewer goes further and reports a negative return on the AI add-ons specifically, which is the exact risk you're taking when you can't trial Autopilot first.

On the capability side, a co-founder reviewing Front on Capterra notes: "AI features are pretty limited right now." I'd weigh that against the price, because you're paying a premium add-on rate for an assist-and-agent layer some buyers still find early.

Front's overall ratings are strong, and worth taking seriously. But those reflect the shared inbox and collaboration experience Front is known for, and they say little about the AI stack this post is about.

The billing-specific evidence is thin because the AI is newer, and what exists points one way.

Does Front have a free trial, and what are the contract terms?

⚡

TL;DR: There's a 14-day trial, no credit card, mirroring the Professional plan, but it excludes Autopilot and the full Copilot / Smart QA / Smart CSAT suite. No free tier. Annual billing saves 24%, onboarding fees apply over $25k ARR, and startup, nonprofit and education discounts exist.

Front offers a 14-day free trial that mirrors the Professional plan, with no credit card required, and you can upgrade whenever. I'd use every day of it.

The limitation, again, is the AI: the trial excludes Autopilot and the full assist suite (Copilot, Smart QA, Smart CSAT). So you get to evaluate the inbox thoroughly and the flagship AI agent not at all.

There's no free tier, and Front is paid from day one after the trial. Annual billing saves 24% over monthly, and Enterprise is annual-only.

Front does run discount programs for startups, nonprofits and education, so it's worth asking if you qualify. And as I noted earlier, contracts above $25k ARR carry a mandatory onboarding package on top of the license.

How does Front AI pricing compare to alternatives at the same volume?

⚡

TL;DR: At 10,000 conversations a month, Front's seat-plus-add-on-plus-per-conversation stack lands around $7,930. A flat per-ticket agent like My AskAI is roughly $1,299 for the same volume, and self-serve, with no sales call for the real number.

Here's the same 10k-conversation month priced across the models buyers usually weigh against Front. I've used the worked example above for Front's number, and the others use each vendor's published rate.

Vendor	Pricing model	Cost at 10k (70% resolution)	Effective $/resolved
Front (Autopilot + seats + Copilot)	Per-seat + per-conversation → per-resolution	~$7,930 (real Autopilot rate sales-gated)	~$1.13
My AskAI (Scale)	Flat $0.10/ticket, no per-seat, no per-resolution	~$1,299	~$0.17
Intercom Fin	$0.99/resolution + Intercom seats	~$6,930 to $7,425	~$1.00+
eesel AI	$0.40 per task (1 ticket = 1 task), PAYG	~$4,000	~$0.57

A few reads on this table. Front and Intercom Fin sit in the same range and the same model: you pay on every resolution, on top of seat fees. eesel is cheaper per unit but still an add-on layer riding on the helpdesk you already pay for.

My AskAI is the outlier here on model as much as on price: we bill a flat $0.10 per ticket, with no per-seat and no per-resolution charge. So the bill doesn't climb as the AI gets better. The effective cost per resolved ticket falls as resolution rate rises, which is the opposite of every per-resolution vendor here.

My AskAI does not run on Front. We plug into Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias and HubSpot, so this is a switch rather than an add-on, and worth saying up front.

My AskAI: over 1 million support tickets resolved

So if you're committed to Front's inbox, moving to us means replacing the AI layer and the helpdesk together, only worth it if you're willing to move helpdesk too. If you're staying put, the cheaper levers within Front are to lead with Copilot and hold Autopilot back until it's proven, then barter that sales-gated rate hard and don't take the first quote.

On price, the flat model is roughly $1,299 at 10k tickets on our Scale plan ($499 base + 8,000 tickets × $0.10), against Front's ~$7,930, and you can see the number yourself on our pricing page without a sales call. And you can prove it before you pay: My AskAI runs a 30-day free trial with every feature unlocked, unlimited tickets and no credit card, plus a common 50% off your first three months for new customers. That's the answer to the "can I test it first?" objection Front's own trial leaves open, since it excludes the agent.

Is Front AI worth the money?

⚡

TL;DR: Worth it if you're already committed to Front's inbox and want assistive AI with human-in-the-loop control. Not worth it if you're greenfield, cost-sensitive at volume, non-English, or want to evaluate the agent before you buy.

Front's AI is a good fit for one profile and an expensive mismatch for another. The line I draw is whether you're already on Front and control-first, or shopping the category on cost and flexibility.

✅

Front AI is worth it if:

You're already on Front and want to add AI without leaving the inbox you've standardized on.

You're a control-first, high-stakes B2B team (logistics, travel, immigration, financial services) where a human-in-the-loop assist layer matters more than full autonomy.

You plan to lead with Copilot and prove the assist layer before turning on the autonomous agent (my recommended path).

Your knowledge already lives in Front's knowledge base, so the AI has something to work from on day one.

❌

Front AI isn't worth it if:

You're greenfield and buying AI-first, so you'd be paying a premium inbox price to get to the AI.

You're cost-sensitive and scaling: the AI stacks at roughly $50/seat of assist plus a per-conversation agent, and I've watched that invoice climb faster than teams plan for.

You support customers in languages other than English, since Autopilot and Topics are English-only.

You want to trial the agent before committing, or your knowledge lives in Notion, Confluence, Google Docs or a wiki outside Front's KB.

If Front's inbox is the reason you're here and the control-first model fits, the assist layer is a reasonable spend. I'd price Enterprise from the start, skip the Professional-plus-add-ons route, and hold Autopilot back until it's proven on your tickets. If you're weighing the AI on cost and portability against other Front alternatives, the full feature picture is in the Front AI complete guide, and the flat per-ticket alternative, with a 30-day, all-features, unlimited-tickets, no-card trial, is a click away.

FAQs

How much does Front cost per month?

Front's platform seats are $25 (Starter), $65 (Professional) and $105 (Enterprise) per user per month on annual billing, which is 24% cheaper than monthly. That's before AI: Copilot, Smart QA and Smart CSAT are per-seat add-ons on Starter and Professional, and Autopilot is billed per conversation on every tier. A realistic mid-market month (20 seats, Copilot, Autopilot at volume) lands around $7,930.

Is Front free, or is there a free tier?

No. Front has no free tier, and it's paid from day one after the trial. There's a 14-day free trial (no credit card) that mirrors the Professional plan, but it excludes Autopilot and the full assistive AI suite.

How much does Front Autopilot cost per conversation?

Front's pricing page lists Autopilot at "starting at $0.05/conversation" with a Talk to Sales CTA, a floor with the real rate behind the sales call. Front's own community post documents the top of the range at $0.89 per resolution, billed only on successful resolutions. The actual rate you'll pay sits somewhere in that sales-gated range and isn't published (I've never seen the real number on a public page).

Does Front charge per resolution or per conversation?

Both, effectively. Autopilot's billing unit is the conversation ("from $0.05/conversation"), scaling up to $0.89 when it fully resolves. In a pure per-resolution model a miss costs nothing, but here you pay something on conversations Autopilot handles without resolving, so the real bill runs above a clean per-resolution estimate.

Is Front AI (Copilot, Smart QA, Smart CSAT) included in the plan price?

Only on Enterprise ($105/seat), which bundles all three. On Starter and Professional they're paid add-ons: Copilot $20/seat, Smart QA $20/seat, Smart CSAT $10/seat (QA + CSAT bundle $25/seat). Autopilot is a separate per-conversation charge on every tier, Enterprise included.

What counts as a "conversation" for Autopilot billing?

Front bills Autopilot on conversations it engages, with a defined "Resolution" being when the AI delivers a complete response without human intervention. Per Front's own announcement, drafts don't count and only successful resolutions are billed at the $0.89 top rate, though the per-conversation floor means engagement itself is billable below that. Front's help documentation describes how Autopilot triages and hands off (a handoff passes the conversation to a teammate as a comment), and the precise billable definition and rate are confirmed on a sales call.

Can I try Front Autopilot on the free trial?

No. Autopilot is excluded from the 14-day trial, and Front offers no sandbox or simulation mode. You can evaluate the inbox and native AI in the trial, but the autonomous agent can only be tested once you've committed and turned it on with live tickets, which, for the priciest line item, I'd push back on.

Is there a minimum spend or contract minimum on Front?

Front doesn't publish an Autopilot minimum. That figure is part of the sales-gated quote. On the platform side, Enterprise is annual-only, plans can't be mixed across an organization, and contracts above $25k ARR carry a mandatory onboarding package on top of the license.

Does Front AI work in languages other than English?

Autopilot is officially English-only, and Topics (the native AI classification feature) is English-only too. If you support customers in other languages, that's a hard limit on the autonomous agent. Confirm it with sales before you commit.

How does Front AI pricing compare to Intercom Fin or My AskAI?

At 10,000 conversations a month, Front lands around $7,930 and Intercom Fin around $6,930 to $7,425, both charging on every resolution on top of seat fees. My AskAI is roughly $1,299 for the same volume on a flat $0.10/ticket model with no per-seat or per-resolution charge. The trade-off: we run on Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, Gorgias or HubSpot, so choosing us means moving off Front's helpdesk, which is a bigger commitment than adding a tool.

What discounts does Front offer (annual, startup, nonprofit)?

Annual billing saves 24% over monthly, and Front runs discount programs for startups, nonprofits and education if you qualify and ask. The Autopilot rate itself is negotiated, so at volume your biggest lever is bartering that sales-gated per-conversation rate down. Published discounts won't move it much.

Why is the full AI suite on Professional more expensive than Enterprise?

Because the assistive add-ons stack: Professional is $65/seat, plus Copilot ($20), Smart QA ($20) and Smart CSAT ($10), which is $115/seat versus $105 for Enterprise, which bundles all three. If you're going to run the full assist suite across the team, price Enterprise first, because the add-ons on Professional cost you more.
