Next to the others
Monthly cost for 8 agents. “Seats only” is the list seat price with no AI used. “With AI” adds the AI finishing 800 conversations a month, the amount Flatdesk includes. “~” marks estimates from third-party reports, because the vendor doesn't publish the AI rate. Freshdesk's 500 starter AI sessions are one-time, so a steady month counts none of them. List prices checked 2026-10-13.

Questions
How much does Flatdesk cost for 8 agents?
$312 a month billed yearly ($3,744 a year), or $392 a month billed monthly. That includes 800 AI answers a month, shared across the team. The AI pauses at that number unless an admin turns on overage at $0.40 each.
Is Flatdesk the cheapest help desk for a team of 8?
Not on seats alone. 3 of the 9 competitor plans we track cost less than Flatdesk with no AI use at this size (Fin (formerly Intercom) Essential, Freshdesk Growth, Help Scout Standard). Flatdesk is built for teams that want AI included, and it also has fewer channels: email and website chat only.
Does the price change if our AI use goes up?
No. The AI pauses at 800 answers a month for 8 agents, and tickets after that go to your team. If you'd rather keep it running, an admin can turn on overage at $0.40 per extra answer. It's off by default.
Can we try it before paying?
Yes. The trial is 14 days with every feature and no card, including 25 AI answers per agent for the trial.
