    Zendesk QA

    AI quality assurance inside Zendesk that scores every human and AI agent interaction and links results to coaching.

    zendesk.com

    8.7

    out of 10

    Best for: Support teams already on Zendesk

    Zendesk QA is the most complete option for teams that already run support in Zendesk. AutoQA reviews every interaction rather than a sample, covering voice, BPO partners and AI agents as well as email and chat. Managers can start with built-in categories such as Empathy and Solution, then write custom prompt-based categories for their own standards. Spotlight surfaces the conversations a manager should read first: churn risks, escalations, knowledge gaps, stuck loops and dead air on calls. AI Agent QA puts bot and human scores side by side, which matters as more tickets are handled by automation. Coaching is built in, with 1:1 sessions and scheduled training.

    The catch is packaging. On Zendesk's pricing page, Suite plans mark quality assurance as requiring a QA add-on, and the Workforce Engagement Bundle that includes QA, workforce management and coaching costs $50 per agent per month billed yearly on top of the Suite. Teams outside Zendesk should look at evaluagent or Scorebuddy instead.

    Standout feature

    AutoQA scores 100% of interactions, including AI agents, voice and BPO teams.

    Use cases

    • Support managers on Zendesk

      Score every ticket and call against the team scorecard

      Outcome: Quality scores for all agents instead of a small sample

    • Teams running AI agents

      Compare bot and human quality side by side

      Outcome: Clear cases where the AI agent should hand off to a person

    • Teams working with BPOs

      Hold outsourced agents to the in-house standard

      Outcome: One quality score across internal and partner teams

    Key features

    • AutoQA scores 100% of interactions, including AI agents, voice and BPO teams
    • Out-of-the-box categories such as Empathy and Solution, plus custom prompt-based categories
    • Spotlight flags churn risks, escalations, stuck conversation loops and dead air on calls
    • AI Agent QA compares bot and human scores side by side
    • 1:1 coaching and scheduled training sessions for agents who need support

    Pros

    • Scores human and AI agent conversations with the same standards
    • Covers voice and BPO teams, not only tickets
    • Free service quality audit offered to existing Zendesk customers

    Cons

    • QA is sold as an add-on or bundle on top of a Zendesk Suite plan
    • The QA product page lists no standalone price; you contact sales
    • Best suited to teams whose conversations already live in Zendesk

    evaluagent

    An AutoQM platform for automated QA scoring, calibration, coaching and performance management across human and AI agents.

    evaluagent.com

    8.6

    out of 10

    Best for: Contact centers that want published seat pricing

    evaluagent is built for QA teams that want automation without losing human control. The AutoQM & Improvement plan, from $35 per user per month, includes automated scoring on every conversation, custom scorecards, voice transcription with multi-language support, coaching workflows and performance dashboards. SmartScore AI line items handle qualitative criteria and explain their reasoning, and auto-publish and auto-fail rules decide which scored conversations reach agents or reviewers. Manual review and calibration sessions remain, so QA leads can check the AI and keep evaluators aligned. A Quality of Feedback measure tracks how useful evaluator comments are, and two-way acknowledgement lets agents respond.

    The $65 bundle adds conversation intelligence: reason for contact detection, topic and theme tracking, sentiment trends and predicted metrics such as xCSAT. evaluagent applies the same features to AI agent conversations and offers per-conversation pricing for them, including fabrication detection for bots. There is no free plan, and both seat plans start with a demo.

    Standout feature

    Automated QA, calibration and coaching from a published $35 per user per month.

    Use cases

    • QA leads in contact centers

      Automate scoring while keeping calibration sessions

      Outcome: Full coverage with reviewers focused on edge cases

    • Teams deploying chatbots

      Check bot answers for invented information

      Outcome: Hallucinations caught before they reach more customers

    • Team leaders

      Run coaching sessions and track goals

      Outcome: Coaching tied to scored conversations

    Key features

    • Automated QA scoring on 100% of conversations with custom scorecards
    • Manual review and calibration sessions for human-in-the-loop checks
    • SmartScore AI line items that score qualitative criteria with reasoning
    • Fabrication detection for bot responses that invent information
    • Coaching workflows, goals, gamification and leaderboards

    Pros

    • Publishes starting seat prices on its pricing page
    • Tracks the quality of evaluator feedback itself (QoF)
    • Consumption-based pricing available for AI agents and variable volume

    Cons

    • Conversation intelligence features such as sentiment and topics need the $65 bundle
    • Both plans route through a demo booking before purchase
    • No free plan

    Kaizo

    AI quality assurance and coaching for support teams on Zendesk and Salesforce, with gamification built in.

    kaizo.com

    8.4

    out of 10

    Best for: Zendesk and Salesforce teams that want gamified QA

    Kaizo focuses on support teams that want QA to run with little manual effort and want agents to engage with it. Every plan runs AutoPilot QA on all conversations and includes performance dashboards, AI summaries, on-demand transcription and a ready-to-use scorecard. The Insight plan for 1 to 25 seats allows 10 custom automated criteria along with assignments, calibration, challenges, gamification and missions. Intelligence, for 26 or more seats, raises that to 25 criteria and adds AI coaching cards that draft feedback from ratings and link it to the source conversations, plus automated BI exports and a dedicated CSM. Enterprise allows 50 criteria and adds custom dashboards, data retention controls and audit logs.

    Kaizo publishes no prices. Its pricing page says all plans are billed per seat and asks you to talk to sales for a quote, so budget comparisons need a call. Teams outside Zendesk or Salesforce should check integrations before a demo.

    Standout feature

    AutoPilot QA on every plan, with 10 to 50 custom automated criteria by tier.

    Use cases

    • Growing support teams under 25 seats

      Start automated QA with a ready-made scorecard

      Outcome: Full coverage without building a rubric from scratch

    • QA managers

      Run calibration and assignments for reviewers

      Outcome: Consistent scores across evaluators

    • Team leads

      Turn ratings into coaching cards

      Outcome: Feedback linked to the exact conversation

    Key features

    • AutoPilot QA on every conversation on all plans
    • Ready-to-use QA scorecard plus 10, 25 or 50 custom automated criteria by plan
    • Assignments, calibration and challenges for QA workflows
    • AI coaching cards on Intelligence and Enterprise
    • Gamification and missions to engage agents

    Pros

    • Every plan scores 100% of conversations
    • Clear plan limits for custom automated criteria
    • SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR listed on its Trust Center

    Cons

    • No public prices; every plan is quoted
    • AI coaching cards start on the Intelligence plan (26+ seats)
    • Third-party integrations beyond the core ones are an Enterprise feature
  4. Rank 4

    Supportman

    Intercom CSAT, QA evaluations and coaching scores delivered in Slack.

    supportman.io

    8.3

    out of 10

    Best for: Small Intercom teams on a budget

    Supportman is the lightest way for an Intercom team to start scoring quality. It lives in Slack: the $5 Basic plan sends CSAT ratings, alerts and weekly reports to channels, and the $15 Pro plan adds the QA layer. On Pro, AI evaluations score every closed conversation from 0 to 100 with no cap, a dashboard shows CSAT, DSAT and quality trends, and per-agent coaching scores come with an audit trail. CSAT prediction flags conversations likely to end in a bad rating, and Supportman also scores tickets closed by Intercom's Fin AI agent, which helps teams check automation quality. Kudos cards and leaderboards keep feedback positive.

    The limits are clear. Only Intercom and Slack are supported, the plan applies to the whole workspace, and a custom rubric calibrated to your standards needs Enterprise. Supportman also notes its evaluations are built for coaching, not employment decisions. Pro has a $50 monthly minimum and a 30-day money-back guarantee on annual plans.

    Standout feature

    Uncapped AI evaluations of every closed Intercom conversation for $15 per user a month.

    Use cases

    • Startup support leads on Intercom

      Score every closed conversation without a QA hire

      Outcome: Per-agent quality scores in Slack each week

    • Teams using Fin

      Audit tickets the AI agent closed

      Outcome: Independent quality checks on automated replies

    • Managers

      Catch conversations heading for a bad CSAT

      Outcome: A chance to step in before the rating lands

    Key features

    • AI evaluations with 0 to 100 scoring on every closed conversation (Pro)
    • Per-agent coaching scores and an audit trail for every decision
    • CSAT prediction that flags conversations heading for a bad rating
    • Independent scoring of Fin-closed tickets
    • Kudos recognition cards, streaks and leaderboards

    Pros

    • No cap on conversations scored on Pro
    • Connects to Slack and Intercom in under 2 minutes, per the vendor
    • 30-day money-back guarantee on annual plans

    Cons

    • Works only with Intercom and Slack
    • AI evaluations are not available on the $5 Basic plan
    • Custom QA rubrics require the Enterprise plan

    Scorebuddy

    A contact center QA platform with custom scorecards, calibration, AI auto scoring, coaching and BI.

    scorebuddyqa.com

    8.2

    out of 10

    Best for: Contact centers and BPOs with CCaaS phone systems

    Scorebuddy suits contact centers and BPOs that run voice on a CCaaS platform and want a structured QA program. The Foundation plan is a complete manual QA tool: customizable scorecards, QA workflows, a calibration module, agent dashboards, root cause analysis, compliance reporting and peer-to-peer scoring. Accelerate, the most popular plan, adds AI Auto Scoring with 500 monthly AI scores, an in-app coaching module, the ScorebuddyCX BI tool with custom dashboards and connectors for Genesys, Amazon Connect, NiCE CXone, Five9, Talkdesk and Dixa. Elite adds conversation analytics, AI voice transcription, a Salesforce integration, an open API, single sign-on, 1,000 monthly AI scores and a choice of EU, US or UK data regions.

    Every plan is priced on request, so you cannot compare costs without a call, and AI scoring beyond the included credits is sold as an add-on. A free trial is offered from the pricing page, and a learning management system is available on Accelerate and Elite.

    Standout feature

    Calibration, peer scoring and compliance reporting are included even on the entry Foundation plan.

    Use cases

    • BPO quality teams

      Run calibration across many client programs

      Outcome: Consistent scoring standards between evaluators

    • Regulated contact centers

      Report on compliance scorecard items

      Outcome: Evidence of policy adherence for audits

    • Voice-heavy support teams

      Pull calls from Genesys or Five9 into QA

      Outcome: Scored calls without manual uploads

    Key features

    • Customizable scorecards, QA workflows and a calibration module on every plan
    • AI Auto Scoring with 500 monthly AI scores on Accelerate and 1,000 on Elite
    • In-app coaching module and ScorebuddyCX BI dashboards on Accelerate
    • CCaaS integrations for Genesys, Amazon Connect, NiCE CXone, Five9, Talkdesk and Dixa
    • Conversation analytics, AI voice transcription and data region choice (EU, US, UK) on Elite

    Pros

    • Peer-to-peer scoring and compliance reporting on the entry plan
    • Wide list of contact center platform integrations

    Cons

    • No public prices on any plan
    • AI Auto Scoring is capped by monthly credits
    • Salesforce integration, SSO and open API require Elite

    Hiver

    A help desk that runs in Gmail or as an omnichannel inbox, with AI QA on its Elite plan.

    hiverhq.com

    8.0

    out of 10

    Best for: Email-first teams that want QA inside their help desk

    Hiver is a help desk first, and its QA feature makes sense for teams that would rather not buy a separate quality platform. On the Elite plan, AI QA automatically evaluates agent responses, scores quality, flags gaps and surfaces coaching opportunities. Elite also adds AI Insights, which sorts conversations into topics and subtopics, and Customer Intelligence for sentiment, account health and churn signals, plus skill-based routing, custom objects, SSO and HIPAA compliance. Hiver works inside Gmail or as a dedicated omnichannel platform, which suits email-heavy support, finance and operations teams.

    The trade-off is depth and price. Elite costs $85 per user per month billed annually, or $95 monthly, compared with $25 for Growth, and Hiver's pricing page does not describe calibration, disputes or custom scorecard criteria. Teams that need a formal QA program with reviewers should pick a dedicated tool. The 7-day trial opens the Elite plan, so you can test AI QA on real conversations first.

    Standout feature

    AI QA, AI Insights and Customer Intelligence bundled into one help desk plan.

    Use cases

    • Support teams working in Gmail

      Score agent replies without leaving the inbox

      Outcome: Quality feedback in the tool agents already use

    • Operations managers

      Spot recurring issues by topic

      Outcome: Clear lists of what customers write in about

    • Account teams

      Watch sentiment and churn signals

      Outcome: Earlier warning on unhappy accounts

    Key features

    • AI QA evaluates team responses, scores quality, flags gaps and surfaces coaching opportunities
    • AI Insights groups conversations into topics and subtopics
    • Customer Intelligence tracks sentiment, account health and churn signals
    • Skill-based routing on Elite
    • Shared inbox and ticketing inside Gmail or a dedicated omnichannel app

    Pros

    • QA, help desk and AI agents in one subscription
    • 7-day free trial gives access to the Elite plan
    • SSO, HIPAA compliance and custom roles on Elite

    Cons

    • AI QA is only on the top Elite plan
    • Fewer QA controls such as calibration than dedicated QA tools
    • Only useful if you also move your help desk to Hiver

    Dialpad Support

    An AI contact center with real-time coaching, AI CSAT and QA scorecards on its Advanced plan.

    dialpad.com

    7.9

    out of 10

    Best for: Phone-heavy support teams replacing their contact center

    Dialpad Support fits teams whose support runs mainly on the phone and who would rather have QA built into the contact center than bolted on. The Essentials plan at $89 per user per month covers omnichannel routing, a power dialer, AI transcripts with recaps, PII redaction and sentiment, plus screen recording. QA arrives on Advanced at $119 per user per month: Quality Management adds AI CSAT, scorecards, playbooks and a Coaching Hub, and Live Coach adds real-time assist and custom moments that prompt agents during calls. Premium at $149 adds workforce management for forecasting, scheduling and adherence.

    The value depends on replacing your current phone system. If your calls already run through Genesys, Five9 or another CCaaS, a dedicated QA tool such as Scorebuddy that integrates with it is a smaller change. Dialpad's FAQ notes that all plans include real-time dashboards and historical data, and Premium adds admin and reporting APIs.

    Standout feature

    Scorecards, AI CSAT and a Coaching Hub included with the $119 Advanced contact center plan.

    Use cases

    • Phone support managers

      Score calls with scorecards and AI CSAT

      Outcome: Quality data on every call without surveys

    • New agents

      Get real-time prompts during live calls

      Outcome: Fewer mistakes while still ramping up

    • Contact center leads

      Combine QA with forecasting and scheduling

      Outcome: Staffing and quality managed in one tool on Premium

    Key features

    • Quality Management with AI CSAT, scorecards, playbooks and a Coaching Hub on Advanced
    • Live Coach with real-time assist, AI assistant and custom moments
    • AI transcripts, recaps, PII redaction and sentiment on every plan
    • Omnichannel routing for voice and digital channels
    • Workforce management with forecasting, scheduling and adherence on Premium

    Pros

    • QA, coaching and the phone system come from one vendor
    • AI CSAT estimates satisfaction on calls without a survey
    • Real-time coaching helps agents during the call, not only after

    Cons

    • Quality Management is not on the $89 Essentials plan
    • Only worth it if you also move your contact center to Dialpad
    • Advanced and Premium are sold through sales

    SupportLogic

    A support experience platform whose QA product combines auto QA, manual QA, voice analytics and coaching agents.

    supportlogic.com

    7.8

    out of 10

    Best for: Enterprise B2B support teams with complex cases

    SupportLogic is aimed at larger B2B support organizations that want QA as part of a broader support analytics platform. Its QA bundle lists auto QA and manual QA, custom scorecards, arbitration for disputed scores, a Grade the Grader feature for reviewer consistency, CES scoring and more than 54 machine learning models. Voice support includes transcription, tonal analysis, hold and dead air detection, and redaction. Checks for zero tolerance policies, profanity, professionalism, grammar and resolution help compliance-minded teams, and a Coaching Agent is positioned to QA all interactions rather than the small sample manual review reaches.

    Other bundles add sentiment analysis, escalation prediction, backlog management, account health scores and case routing, which is why SupportLogic suits enterprise teams with complex, high-value cases. Every bundle is contact for pricing, and the platform does more than a team that only wants scorecards needs. Smaller teams will get faster results from Supportman, Kaizo or evaluagent.

    Standout feature

    Arbitration and Grade the Grader features for disputed scores and reviewer consistency.

    Use cases

    • Enterprise support operations

      QA every case and voice call against policy

      Outcome: Flagged zero tolerance breaches and coaching moments

    • QA managers

      Check reviewer consistency with Grade the Grader

      Outcome: Fairer scores across evaluators

    • B2B support leaders

      Link quality to escalations and account health

      Outcome: Coaching focused on high-value accounts

    Key features

    • Auto QA and manual QA with custom scorecards and arbitration
    • Grade the Grader to check reviewer consistency
    • Voice transcription with tonal analysis, hold detection and dead air detection
    • Zero tolerance policy, profanity and professionalism detection
    • Coaching Agent that QAs 100% of customer interactions

    Pros

    • Detailed QA checks such as resolution detection and grammar checks
    • Pairs QA with escalation prediction and sentiment in other bundles
    • Built for B2B support with account health and case prioritization

    Cons

    • All bundles are contact for pricing
    • More platform than a team needing only scorecards
    • Setup involves CRM writeback and data cloud configuration

    Convin

    A conversation intelligence platform with automated QA and a free manual quality management tool.

    convin.ai

    7.7

    out of 10

    Best for: Call centers starting manual QA for free

    Convin is worth a look for teams that run QA in spreadsheets today and want to move to a real tool at no cost. Its free Quality Management Software is a manual QA platform with a flexible call auditing template, an automated audit workflow, a detailed audit reporting dashboard, feedback and alerts, and an agent rebuttal system so agents can dispute scores. That covers the basics of a manual QA program without a contract.

    When a team outgrows sampling, Convin's paid automated QA scores 100% of conversations across calls, chats and email with generative AI feedback, and its coaching suite adds automated agent coaching, leaderboards and gamification. Paid prices are not published, so you will need a demo. Convin also sells AI phone agents, collections and sales tools, so support QA is one part of a wider product, and its industry examples lean toward call centers in banking, insurance and education rather than SaaS chat support.

    Standout feature

    A free manual QA platform with audit templates, reporting and an agent rebuttal system.

    Use cases

    • Small call center QA teams

      Move manual audits out of spreadsheets

      Outcome: Structured audits and reports at no cost

    • Agents

      Dispute a score they disagree with

      Outcome: A tracked rebuttal instead of a side conversation

    • Growing operations

      Upgrade to automated omnichannel QA

      Outcome: Full coverage without changing vendors

    Key features

    • Free manual QA platform with a flexible call auditing template
    • Automated audit workflow and audit reporting dashboard in the free tool
    • Agent Rebuttal Management System for disputed scores
    • Paid automated QA scores 100% of calls, chats and emails
    • Automated agent coaching, leaderboards and gamification

    Pros

    • Free plan covers manual audits, reporting and agent rebuttals
    • Path to automated omnichannel QA on the same vendor
    • Mobile app for team and agent insights

    Cons

    • Free tool is manual QA only
    • Paid plans have no published prices
    • Product focus has widened to AI voicebots and collections

    Insight7

    Call and transcript analysis with scorecards, evaluation criteria and AI coaching on higher plans.

    insight7.io

    7.4

    out of 10

    Best for: Small teams scoring a limited number of calls

    Insight7 analyzes recorded calls and transcripts against evaluation criteria, which makes it an option for a small team that wants to score a limited number of support calls without a contact center contract. Pro costs $99 per month billed $990 a year and covers 1 user, 50 call or transcript analyses, transcription in more than 60 languages, basic dashboards, reports and scorecards with criteria templates. Business at $299 adds 3 users, 200 analyses, keyword and scorecard alerts, PII and PHI redaction, automations and AI roleplay practice. AI coaching and feedback start on Plus at $1,499 for 20 users and 2,500 analyses.

    The analysis caps are the main limit: 50 analyses a month covers spot checks, not full QA coverage. Insight7 has also broadened into AI agents for sales, collections and order taking, so support QA is no longer its only focus. Education and nonprofit teams can get 50% off Pro and Business.

    Standout feature

    Published plans starting at $99 a month with scorecards and transcription in 60+ languages.

    Use cases

    • Solo QA analysts

      Score a sample of support calls each month

      Outcome: Consistent scorecards without a large contract

    • Multilingual teams

      Transcribe and review calls in other languages

      Outcome: QA coverage across 60+ languages

    • AI coaching and feedback start on the $1,499 Plus plan
    • Product focus has widened to AI agents for sales and collections

Buying guide

How to choose

Decide how much you want AI to score

Manual QA samples a small share of tickets; AI scoring reviews all of them. SupportLogic describes manual review as reaching about 2% of interactions. evaluagent, Zendesk QA, Kaizo and Supportman all advertise automated scoring on 100% of conversations, while Convin's free tool is manual only. Keep human reviewers for calibration and disputes even when AI does the first pass.

Check that your help desk and phone system connect

A QA tool is only useful if it can pull conversations. Supportman works with Intercom and Slack only. Kaizo lists Zendesk and Salesforce integrations. Scorebuddy's Accelerate plan adds CCaaS connectors for Genesys, Amazon Connect, NiCE CXone, Five9, Talkdesk and Dixa. If you already run Hiver or Dialpad, their built-in QA may save you a second vendor.

Look at scorecards and calibration

Your scorecard is the standard agents are held to, so the tool must let you build your own. Check how many custom automated criteria each plan allows (Kaizo allows 10, 25 or 50 depending on plan), whether calibration sessions are supported, and whether agents can dispute a score. Convin includes an agent rebuttal system and SupportLogic lists arbitration and grade-the-grader features.

Plan how scores become coaching

Scores alone do not change behavior. Look for coaching workflows that link feedback to the conversation it came from, as Kaizo's coaching cards and evaluagent's coaching sessions do. Dialpad bundles a Coaching Hub with scorecards on its Advanced plan, and Insight7 adds AI roleplay practice from its Business plan.

Price per seat and per AI score

Most QA tools charge per agent seat, but AI scoring can carry its own limits. Scorebuddy includes 500 or 1,000 monthly AI scores depending on plan, Insight7 caps call analyses per plan, and evaluagent offers per-conversation pricing for AI agents. Count your agents and monthly conversation volume before comparing quotes.
