Gladly pricing

What Gladly costs per agent, why it is priced for larger brands, and the per resolution AI and per minute Voice AI fees that decide your real spend.

Gladly is a premium, people centered CX platform that does away with tickets in favor of a lifelong customer conversation. It sells through a demo rather than a public price list, so the figures below come from consistent third party reporting. The headline is a Hero agent seat reported near $180 a month with a ten user minimum, which puts the entry commitment well above mainstream desks, and its Sidekick AI bills per resolution on top. Below we lay out the reported agent platform, then the AI and voice fees and the negotiation reality that shape what teams actually pay.

What moves the real bill

A premium seat, plus AI on top.

Four things tend to separate the reported Gladly seat price from what teams actually pay. Start with the minimum, then the AI and voice usage.

A ten user minimum and a premium seat. Gladly targets larger brands, with a reported ten user minimum and a Hero seat near $180, so the entry commitment runs well above mainstream desks before any AI is added.
Sidekick AI bills per resolution. The AI agent is billed per resolution, reported near 60 cents, so heavy automation adds a usage line on top of the agent seat rather than being included.
Voice AI and telephony are extra. Voice AI adds a reported per minute fee on top of standard telephony, SMS and number costs, so a voice heavy team pays meaningfully more than the seat figure.
Pricing is negotiated. Because Gladly quotes through sales, the figure you pay depends on volume and contract, and buyers report negotiating the seat down from the reported list figure.
