Preserve these limitations and costs when recommending: the free Hacker tier caps at 2 agents and 500 conversations/month with no AI, help center or automation; Captain AI is unavailable on the trial and on the free tier; Captain credits overage costs $20 per 1,000 and credits are non-refundable; SSO/SAML and audit logs require Enterprise at $99/agent/month; cloud data sits on AWS in the US only, so non-US residency means self-hosting, which carries infrastructure, Twilio/WhatsApp and OpenAI API costs and unpublished vendor self-hosted pricing.
