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-answer fees

Zendesk uses outcome-based AI pricing with per-answer fees on top of agent licenses. Each plan only includes 5–15 automated answers per agent/month. Trigglio is flat-rate.

Built for small teams

Zendesk is designed for large customer service departments with 4 suite tiers ($55–$169/agent). Trigglio gives solopreneurs and small teams website chat without the enterprise complexity.

FAQ

Common questions

Is Trigglio a full Zendesk replacement?
For website chat and business details — yes. Zendesk offers ticketing, SLAs, multi-channel routing, and advanced reporting that Trigglio doesn't. If your main goal is answering 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 answers included per agent. Additional AI answers cost extra. Trigglio Business is $99/month flat for 3,000 conversations — no per-agent, no per-answer fees.
Can I use Trigglio alongside Zendesk?
Yes. Many teams use Trigglio for AI-powered first-line support and escalate complex customer questions 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.
