Why operators choose
Satatam.
We didn't build another AI support platform. We built a managed service instead: we run the deployment, measure the outcome, and back it with a conditional Launch Guarantee.
A specialist we stand up and run for you — not another platform your team has to configure and maintain.
A flat monthly rate with a published conversation allowance and a published overage rate — so your bill doesn't move when your resolution rate does.
You see your verified-resolution rate; a conversation with a human handoff or a failed action never counts as verified. Backed by a conditional Launch Guarantee.
2,000 conversations × 65% resolved × $0.99 = $1,287/mo on outcome pricing. Satatam Growth, billed annually, is $849/mo.
Set the per-resolution rate to whatever the vendor currently publishes. Our figure is the plan whose allowance covers your volume, plus overage beyond it: $0.50 per additional support conversation on Starter, Growth, Scale and standard annual Enterprise; negotiated custom Enterprise rates apply only as explicitly agreed. Existing signed agreements retain their agreed rates, with no retroactive new fees. Neither side includes implementation cost or any seat licenses you may already hold.
You already run Intercom and want AI inside the tool your team lives in, your volume is low enough that per-outcome billing stays small, and you'd rather pay only when the AI actually resolves something.
You want a heavily bespoke agent built around complex proprietary workflows, you have the internal team to partner on that build, and you're buying at enterprise scale.
You want a predictable monthly bill that doesn't rise as the AI gets better, you'd rather someone else do the implementation, and you want the resolution rate measured and guaranteed rather than asserted.
Intercom and Zendesk figures were checked against their public pricing pages in October 2026; Drift does not publish pricing. Rates change — check the vendor's current pricing page before relying on any figure here.
