Decagon figures come from decagon.ai, checked on 3 October 2026. Decagon does not list prices; we did not estimate them. “Not listed” means the site does not show it; check with Decagon if it matters to you.

What a buyer sees first

## Two very different front doors.

From decagon.ai and our Plans, checked on 3 October 2026. Decagon does not list prices, so we compare what each side shows before a call.

- 01 · $1 ### Opens a Communicate Workspace 100 credits that never expire. Nothing renews.
- 02 · Demo ### Is how you start with Decagon Every buying path on Decagon’s site is “Get a demo”.
- 03 · Decagon wins ### On voice Decagon runs voice agents next to chat and email in one system. Communicate has no voice.

What changes

## Different buyers, different tools.

Decagon is a strong pick for an enterprise that wants one agent across chat, voice, and email. A small team usually wants a price, a widget, and an inbox.

- 01 ### You can see the price Solo $19, Starter $39, Growth $99 a month. Teammate replies never use credits.
- 02 ### Actions you control Look up orders or call your API. Mark risky Actions Member required, so a person approves first.
- 03 ### Inbox included Handoff goes to a Shared Inbox inside Communicate, not to a separate help desk.
