Where these come from

Vendor prices are list rates checked on 2026-09-06, taken from each vendor's own pricing page. 1 of 7 render their tables with JavaScript, so those are confirmed from third-party summaries. Treat them as close, not exact. Seat maths ignores add-ons like AI copilots, which most vendors bill separately.

Not shown above: Drift, Gorgias, Tidio, Crisp, tawk.to. They price by volume or a flat fee rather than per seat, so a seat slider would misrepresent them.

How to use it

  1. 1Set your team size — the slider runs from 1 to 50 agents.
  2. 2Compare Sellio's workspace price against each per-seat vendor at that headcount, using their own list rates.
  3. 3Copy or download the comparison. Vendors marked Estimate render their pricing with JavaScript, so those come from third-party summaries.

FAQ

No. They are illustrative ballparks taken from public yearly list rates, meant for a rough comparison. Always confirm on the vendor's own pricing page before deciding.

  • List rates, not quotes. Vendors change prices and add-ons, and your negotiated rate may differ.
  • Some are estimates. Vendors marked Estimate render pricing with JavaScript, so those figures come from third-party summaries.
  • Sellio prices the workspace. The Sellio side of the comparison uses the plan prices, not a per-seat rate.

Sellio's own plan prices are on the pricing page.
