CustomGPT.ai vs. Intercom Fin vs. Zendesk AI ($0.99/Resolution Tax Audit 2026)
Why per-resolution AI pricing penalizes growth—and how flat-rate CustomGPT.ai + Make.com cuts Tier-1 support costs by 78%.
Helpdesk-native AI add-ons charge $0.99 per resolved ticket plus $39–$55/seat/month—meaning 10,000 monthly resolutions cost nearly $10,000/month. Routing Zendesk/Intercom webhooks through Make.com to a flat-rate CustomGPT.ai knowledge brain ($89/mo) delivers higher citation accuracy at 90% lower monthly cost.
