What to Do Next

Suspending agents doesn't free the seat

Most Zendesk admins don't know this. Get the 5-step cleanup process that actually reclaims licenses.

Estimated at €99/admin and €49/agent (Suite Team pricing). Your actual savings depend on your plan. for exact costs.
On Suite Professional (€115/seat), these same 14 agents cost €1610/mo. With the Advanced AI add-on (€50/agent), it's €2310/mo.
How we calculate
  • We check each agent's last_login_at via Zendesk's API
  • Agents are flagged by login recency: 30, 60, 90+ days or never logged in
  • This sample uses Suite Team base pricing. Your plan likely costs more per seat
  • Add-ons like Advanced AI (€50/agent) or WFM (€25/agent) increase the real waste
