Real numbers: what you pay per conversation, per month, per year.
Software is only one line. The other two are the time your team spends answering repeat questions, and the leads that never arrive because nobody was online.
DeskClerk AI starts at $20/month for one site and 1,250 complete answers — one question plus one reply counts as two messages, which is why plans are quoted in complete answers.
A small site may use a few hundred messages a month. A busy store can use thousands. Measure your current chat and email volume before choosing a plan.
Compare the monthly cost with the hours you spend on repeat questions. If a $20 plan removes five hours of copy-paste replies, the arithmetic is simple.
Setup time, the work of gathering content, and the review of the first answers. None of these appear on a pricing page, and all of them decide whether the assistant is useful.
Count the conversations you already have in a week and how many messages a typical one contains. A question plus a reply is two messages, so a 1,250-answer plan covers about 2,500 messages.
A plan that runs out mid-month stops answering. If the assistant was capturing leads, the saving is smaller than the leads it missed. Compare the quota against your busiest month, not your average.
What happens when the quota runs out, can I export conversations and leads, how do I cancel, and are add-on packs refundable. The answers matter more than the headline price.

Written for the people who answer the questions.
The assistant can only answer from what you give it. Before choosing any tool, gather the pages and documents that already answer your customers.
