doTask vs Zendesk
Zendesk is a helpdesk for support teams of every size, priced per agent, with an AI agent billed by automated resolution. doTask is an inbox and AI Agent for WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, web chat and email, priced per business, with bookings, invoices and email marketing built in.
Which to choose
- You are a small team and want one price per business, not per agent.
- You want AI conversations included in the plan, not charged per resolution.
- You take bookings, sell memberships or send invoices, and want them next to the inbox.
- WhatsApp is a main channel and you want Meta to bill messages to your own account, with nothing added.
- You run a large support team and need mature ticketing, workflows and reporting at scale.
- You want a large marketplace of apps and integrations.
- You want AI tools for agents such as Copilot, or a phone channel in the helpdesk.
- You want an enterprise plan with a sales-led contract and invoice billing.

Pricing
Zendesk charges for each agent. A team of five on Suite Team pays USD 275 a month billed yearly, about RM 1,128, with 25 automated resolutions included. Past that, each automated resolution is USD 1.50 to USD 2.00, about RM 6.15 to RM 8.20.
doTask charges one price per business. Growth is RM 449 a month for five seats, with 1,000 AI Agent conversations a month included. A conversation counts once a month however many messages it has.
Where Zendesk is stronger
Zendesk is one of the most established helpdesks. Its ticketing, workflows, reporting and app marketplace are built for support teams of hundreds of agents. Copilot gives agents AI help on the higher plans, and the enterprise plan comes with a sales-led contract. For a large support operation, it goes much deeper than doTask.
Where doTask is different
doTask is made for small businesses that sell and book through chat. The inbox has tickets and a help centre, and next to them sit bookings, memberships, invoices and email marketing.
The AI Agent answers from your own pages, files, Q&A and products, cites its source and hands over to a person. Its conversations are part of the plan, so a busy month does not raise the bill.
Questions
