How we scored this

Scored on our 100-point rubric for clarity, trust, plan differentiation, CTA friction, and objection handling on . This is our analysis of the public page, not Zendesk's claim. We fetch the live public pricing page and read what a buyer can actually see — named plans, visible prices, CTAs, trust cues, and FAQ — then score those signals. No internal data, no conversion promises, no invented numbers: every score below is a direct read of that one run.

Clarity
Can a buyer tell what each plan is and what it costs, fast?
Trust
Are there credible trust cues near the pricing decision?
Plan differentiation
Is it obvious which plan is for whom, and why to move up?
CTA friction
Does the call-to-action match how this product is actually bought?
Objection handling
Are the common pricing objections answered on the page?
