Find the Number of Contacts Served to Pick Your Plan

This guide will help you determine approximately how many contacts you currently serve per month with your customer support platform. This information can be used to determine your plan with Help Scout.
At Help Scout, a contact is someone who received a reply from your team or had their question resolved by the AI assistant in a given month. Multiple conversations with the same person during a billing period count as one contact.

You can find a more detailed explanation of how a contact is counted in Manage Your Contact-Based Plan: What is a Contact?
