Comparing Weav and Help Scout
Agents That Take Action
Weav AI Agents act on support requests. They look up and cancel Shopify orders, update addresses, and share Stripe billing links, not just describe answers.
Answers From Your Content
Help Scout describes its AI as offering instant answers from your knowledge base and custom sources. Order and billing actions are not part of that description.
Automatic Agent Retraining
The Pro plan retrains your agents automatically, and you can re-sync any URL on demand as your help content changes.
Unlimited Drafts on Plus
Help Scout's AI Drafts use past conversations and help content, but unlimited AI Drafts start on the $45 Plus plan.
The AI Resolution Engine
On email, you set the confidence bar for auto-send. Below it, the AI saves a draft for review or escalates to a teammate.
Billed by Its Definition
A resolution counts when the customer gets an AI response and doesn't escalate, search, or ask more questions. Each one is $0.75.
Predictable Plan Pricing
Every plan includes AI messages, from 20 free to 20,000 on Max. Extra credits are $49 per 1,000 and roll over to the next month.
Per-Resolution Fees
Help Scout charges per user ($25 to $75 a month) and adds $0.75 for every AI resolution, so the bill climbs with your volume.
Always On Under Load
Turn on automatic credit top-ups and Weav adds AI credits when your balance runs low, so your agents keep answering.
Disabled at the Cap
If you hit your monthly spending cap, Help Scout disables AI Answers for the rest of the billing cycle.
Free Plan, Ongoing
Lite is $0 a month with no end date, including 20 AI messages and a basic helpdesk.
Free AI Trial, Then Fees
New accounts get 3 months of free AI Answers resolutions. After that, each resolution is $0.75.
