Yuma AI

by Yuma

Pros

• ✓Agents work inside existing helpdesks including Zendesk, Freshdesk, Intercom, Gorgias, Help Scout and Salesforce, so support teams keep their current workflow.
• ✓A ticket or chat is 1 credit however long it runs, with no platform fee or seat charge, unlimited agents and seats, and a free trial of 100 credits with no card.
• ✓Every workspace is an MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and eesel states that customer data is never used to train AI models.

Limitations

• –Plans are prepaid monthly credit batches starting at $299 for 500 credits, unused credits do not roll over, and agents pause when credits run out unless overage at $0.80 per credit is turned on.
• –SOC 2 Type II is still in its observation period, with the audit planned for early 2027, and HIPAA, EU hosting and a dedicated contact sit on the Enterprise add-on at $1,000 a month.
• –G2 reviewers report about 1 month to implement, longer than the minutes eesel cites for connecting an agent or the 1-week average setup on its customers page.

Pros

• ✓Bills only for full resolutions: a ticket any human touches is not charged, escalations are free, and annual plans have no overage fees.
• ✓Works inside the helpdesk a brand already uses, including Gorgias, Zendesk, Kustomer and Salesforce Service Cloud, and takes actions in Shopify, Recharge, Loop and shipping tools.
• ✓One Handbook runs email, chat, SMS, WhatsApp, social comments and DMs, and phone calls, with playbook tests, hard limits on refunds and coupons, and 15 to 20 quality checks per reply.

Limitations

• –Every plan carries a 12-month commitment, and the published prices are illustrative, with the exact bundle sized to a forecast after a demo.
• –The free 30-day period starts through a sales demo rather than self-serve sign-up, and Yuma says most brands go live in one to two weeks.
• –Sales AI, Social AI, Voice AI and custom integrations are add-ons priced by scope, and Sales AI runs on its own subscription.
