One credit is one simple AI action, like triaging, summarizing or translating a conversation. More involved work, like investigating across tools or resolving a conversation end to end, uses more. Credits are pooled across your whole team. See how AI credits work →
How many credits will we need?
Plans include enough credits for most teams. Most teams use about 6 credits a conversation when AI resolves around half of them, so 1,000 conversations a month uses about 6,000 credits. On a demo we size it from your own volume, and usage alerts let you know well before you reach your limit.
What happens if we use more credits than our plan includes?
On Starter, Plus and Team, you can top up at $40 per 1,000 credits or move up a plan. Starter tops up to 5,000 credits a month and Plus to 15,000. On Pro and Growth, you choose: set a hard cap, or go over at a rate agreed when you sign up. Usage alerts let you know well before you get there.
Can we add agents?
Yes. Starter covers up to 2 human agents and Plus up to 5. Team includes 10, Pro 25 and Growth 50, and extra agents are $49 a month each on annual billing.
Do we need an annual contract?
No. Every plan can be billed monthly. Pay annually and you save 15%.
Can we use Helply without AI?
Yes. Every plan is a complete help desk on its own, and AI only uses credits when it does something. Turn it on when you are ready.
How do Background agents use credits?
Background agents watch your customer accounts rather than individual conversations, so they use credits for each active customer account they follow and for each report or alert they send.
What never costs credits?
Your help desk with AI turned off, spam, notifications and auto-replies, handoffs to a person after an AI attempt, and testing in the Playground.
We use Groove today. What happens to our price?
Your price is locked. We have new pricing, but we will never move your price. When you move to Helply, you get everything with no price increase.
Can Helply help us migrate?
Team includes free migration and an onboarding call. Pro and Growth add a customer success manager and white-glove migration.
Is Helply secure?
Every plan includes SOC 2 Type II and GDPR. Growth adds SSO / SAML.
