Understanding Zendesk Talk Billing and Call Costs
How is Zendesk Talk billed and what are the call cost components?
Zendesk Talk is billed monthly and appears separately in your account. Calls are charged per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute. The cost of a call is broken down into three components: the inbound leg, the outbound leg, and the conference. The inbound leg is the largest portion of the call cost, starting from when the caller hears a greeting until they hang up. The outbound leg varies in cost depending on how the agent answers the call. The conference part of the call is free, but there is a small charge for recording it.
