AI Chatbot Cost Calculator: What Per-Resolution Pricing Really Costs
See what per-resolution pricing costs at your volume. Many AI customer service tools charge for each conversation the AI resolves or each AI interaction. Enter your numbers to see the monthly and yearly bill. All figures are yours to change.
How per-resolution pricing adds up
With per-resolution pricing you pay each time the AI closes a conversation, on top of any base subscription. It looks small per conversation, but it grows with every customer you serve and every improvement in the AI. Busy months, such as a big sale, cost the most exactly when margins are tight.
Published examples, as of November 2026: Intercom Fin lists US$0.99 per resolution, and Gorgias lists US$1.50 per extra AI interaction on its standard tiers. Check each vendor’s pricing page for current rates, then put them in the calculator.
A different model
AeroChat has flat monthly plans sized by AI responses, with no per-resolution fees, and your team’s replies don’t count towards the plan. So a good month doesn’t come with a surprise bill. See the current plans on the pricing page and compare them with your result above.
Questions
What counts as a resolution?
Each vendor defines it differently, usually a conversation the AI closes without a person. Read the definition on their pricing page before you compare.
Why does the share the AI resolves matter?
Under per-resolution pricing, the more the AI resolves, the more you pay. That is the opposite of what you want from automation.
Do you store my numbers?
No. The calculator runs in your browser.
Can I compare two vendors?
Run the calculator once per vendor with its own price and base fee, and note the totals.
