- Subscription Management app shows assist usage by account, instance, skill and month
- AI Control Tower quotas per team and an agent kill switch
Common traps
- Legacy SKUs (Standard, Pro, Pro Plus, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus) reached end of sale on 1 Jul 2026, so renewals move to the new tiers.
- AI is no longer a line you can leave out: it ships inside the tier and its usage is metered.
- The assist pool is tenant-wide, so sub-production instances, testing and scheduled jobs draw from the same allocation.
- Background automation (Virtual Agent fallback, auto-summaries on case open) consumes assists with no human in the loop.
- Poor CMDB and knowledge quality drive retries and repeated lookups, which cost more assists.
- Advisory estimates (e.g. Redress Compliance's $550 per fulfiller year-one model) are deal models, not a price list.
