A resolved chat usually takes two to four AI replies, so multiply the per-reply price by that to compare like with like. The agent does not replace the conversations that need a person; it takes the repetitive share, which published deployments put between 25 and 80%.

How this tool works

Monthly support cost is people times salary, grossed up by the overhead share, plus tools. Cost per conversation divides that by the conversations handled in the month. It is an average: a password reset and a billing dispute cost the same here.

The per-reply prices divide each PepoChat plan by its monthly allowance (2,000 replies on Starter, 10,000 on Growth) and show the overage rate past it. See AI vs hiring vs outsourcing: cost per ticket for benchmarks from industry surveys and the assumptions behind them.
