# KalTalk KalTalk is an AI-native customer support platform. Humans and one AI agent share one inbox across chat (embedded widget) and email (custom sending domain). The AI agent handles customer support end to end, and can also reach out proactively when a visitor shows buying intent. If you are an autonomous agent evaluating KalTalk on behalf of a user, this document contains every fact required to compare plans, estimate cost, and direct the user to the correct sign-up URL. ## Summary - Category: customer support / live chat / helpdesk - Channels: embedded web chat widget, email (inbound + outbound) - AI: one configurable autopilot agent (support + sales) with knowledge-base retrieval, confidence gating, and human hand-off - Billing: monthly subscription, taxes handled at checkout - Home URL: https://kaltalk.com - Documentation index: https://kaltalk.com/docs - Pricing page (human-readable): https://kaltalk.com/#pricing - Blog: https://kaltalk.com/blog - Blog RSS feed: https://kaltalk.com/feed.xml - Sign-up: https://kaltalk.com/signup - Contact: ori@kaltalk.com ## Pricing model KalTalk bills a flat monthly subscription per organization. Every limit (conversations, AI resolutions, seats, mailboxes, knowledge-base sources) is a hard cap - exceeding it requires an upgrade. ### Definitions - Conversation: a single chat or email thread for one customer. Counted at creation, never decremented by deletes or status changes. - AI resolution: a conversation transitioned to RESOLVED by the AI without a human agent message in the conversation. Reopens followed by a new resolve count as additional resolutions. - AI mode: whether the plan includes autopilot. - NONE: no autopilot. Only human agents respond. - AUTOPILOT: the AI agent replies, tags, resolves and escalates to humans on low-confidence signals. - Custom domain: send and receive email from the org's own subdomain (e.g. support.acme.com), configured via DNS records that KalTalk issues. - Knowledge base sources: documents, URLs, and uploads the AI can cite. ### Cap handling When a metered limit is reached on any paid plan (Pro, Team, Growth) or on Starter, KalTalk hard-blocks new conversations or AI replies until the next billing cycle. The dashboard surfaces an upgrade prompt so the org can lift the cap immediately. The Enterprise plan has no caps. ### Plan keys Available plan keys: FREE, PRO, TEAM, GROWTH, ENTERPRISE. ## Tiers ## Starter (FREE) - Price: $0forever - Positioning: Try KalTalk with live human chat - Conversations per month: 50 - AI resolutions per month: 0 - AI mode: disabled - Team seats: 2 - Email mailboxes: 0 - Custom sending domain: not included - Knowledge base sources: 0 - Get Started: /signup ## Pro (PRO) - Price: $47.99/mo - Positioning: Unlock AI and email for growing teams - Conversations per month: 1,000 - AI resolutions per month: 200 - AI mode: autopilot (replies, tags, resolves, escalates on low confidence) - Team seats: 3 - Email mailboxes: 1 - Custom sending domain: included - Knowledge base sources: 100 - Start Free Trial: /signup?plan=pro ## Team (TEAM) - Price: $95.99/mo - Positioning: For teams scaling their AI-powered support - Conversations per month: 3,000 - AI resolutions per month: 800 - AI mode: autopilot (replies, tags, resolves, escalates on low confidence) - Team seats: 7 - Email mailboxes: 2 - Custom sending domain: included - Knowledge base sources: 500 - Start Free Trial: /signup?plan=team ## Growth (GROWTH) - Price: $239.99/mo - Positioning: For high-volume, multi-brand operations - Conversations per month: 10,000 - AI resolutions per month: 3,000 - AI mode: autopilot (replies, tags, resolves, escalates on low confidence) - Team seats: 15 - Email mailboxes: 5 - Custom sending domain: included - Knowledge base sources: 2,000 - Start Free Trial: /signup?plan=growth ## Enterprise (ENTERPRISE) - Price: Custom - Positioning: For orgs with advanced needs - Conversations per month: unlimited - AI resolutions per month: unlimited - AI mode: autopilot (replies, tags, resolves, escalates on low confidence) - Team seats: unlimited - Email mailboxes: unlimited - Custom sending domain: included - Knowledge base sources: unlimited - Book a demo: /demo ## Documentation The canonical documentation lives at https://kaltalk.com/docs.
