Four incompatible pricing meters now compete for the same unit of agent work.

Meta Business Agent exited free testing August 1 at a blended $2.00 per million tokens bundling AI processing and message delivery. At 20,000-25,000 tokens per interaction, a 10-turn conversation runs roughly $0.40-$0.50 against Salesforce Agentforce's flat $2.00 per conversation. Across the 1 billion-plus daily business conversation threads Meta reports, that spread is a margin story. Meanwhile HubSpot Breeze charges $0.50 per resolved conversation and $1 per qualified lead, Zendesk $1.50 committed / $2.00 pay-as-you-go per resolution, and monday.com sells seats plus credits at $0.01-$0.0125 each on top of 1,000-3,000 bundled. Bain reviewed 30+ SaaS vendors: 35% simply bundled AI into higher per-seat tiers, 65% layered usage meters on top, and zero have actually left seats behind. Cross-vendor comparison is currently impossible, which is not an accident. The vendor picks the denominator that flatters its own economics. Watch the catch on Meta: per-message service charges inside the 24-hour window resume October 1, creating overlapping bills for intelligence and delivery.
