What makes Trigglio different
20 minutes vs 20 days
Zendesk implementations take weeks with consultants. Upload your docs to Trigglio and your AI agent is live in 20 minutes.
No per-resolution fees
Zendesk uses outcome-based AI pricing with per-resolution fees on top of agent licenses. Each plan only includes 5–15 automated resolutions per agent/month. Trigglio is flat-rate.
Built for small teams
Zendesk is designed for large support departments with 4 suite tiers ($55–$169/agent). Trigglio gives solopreneurs and small teams enterprise-grade AI without the enterprise complexity.

FAQ
Common questions
Is Trigglio a full Zendesk replacement?
For AI-powered self-service support and knowledge bases — yes. Zendesk offers ticketing, SLAs, multi-channel routing, and advanced reporting that Trigglio doesn't. If your main goal is deflecting repetitive questions with AI, Trigglio does that at a fraction of the cost.
How does pricing compare?
Zendesk Suite starts at $55/agent/month (annual billing) with only 5 AI resolutions included per agent. Additional AI resolutions cost extra. Trigglio Business is $99/month flat for 3,000 conversations — no per-agent, no per-resolution fees.
Can I use Trigglio alongside Zendesk?
Yes. Many teams use Trigglio for AI-powered first-line support and escalate complex tickets to Zendesk via webhooks or Zapier.
Do I need a developer to set up Trigglio?
No. Upload your docs, customize your chatbot, and paste one embed code on your site. No developer, no consultant, no implementation project.
