Front vs Zendesk

Our take

Pick Front if support teams who will start the 14-day Professional trial (no card), then Starter at $25/seat/month yearly when one channel type and ≤10 seats is enough, or Professional at $65 when they need omnichannel. Pick Zendesk if teams leaving a shared inbox who will start on Support Team at $19/agent/month yearly while they open a first ticket list, then Suite Team at $55 when they need omnichannel + AI
