Deskwoot Enterprise
with
10 agent seats
- at no charge - for any startup founded within the last 6 months. AI Copilot, unified inbox across 8 channels, knowledge base, SLA policies. Everything.
Apply now
Approval typically within 1–2 business days. No credit card required.
What's in the program
The same Enterprise plan a 50-agent ecommerce team pays for. Free, for the formative six months when every dollar is earmarked.
Enterprise plan
Top-tier Deskwoot. AI Copilot draft replies, AI Bot self-service, automation rules, SLA policies, audit logs, custom roles, SSO. Same product enterprise customers pay $9.60/agent/month (annual) for.
10 agent seats
Ten Enterprise seats for the founders, the first support hires, and the ops + product folks who jump into customer conversations. Rotate freely as the team grows. With the AI Copilot drafting replies, ten agents comfortably cover 5,000-10,000 conversations a month.
6 months free
List value $720 ($12 monthly × 10 seats × 6 months). At month 6, switch to the annual plan for 20% off ($9.60/agent/mo), keep paying monthly at the standard rate, drop to a paid tier, or stay on the free plan. No surprise charges, no auto-billing on file.
Who qualifies
Your company was founded within the last 6 months. Founding date is the date on the official document - incorporation, registration, articles, etc.
You can attach an official founding document (PDF, JPG, or PNG up to 5 MB). Handelsregisterauszug, Articles of Incorporation, LLC formation document, or the equivalent in your jurisdiction.
You're applying for the team that's actively using Deskwoot. The seats go to humans on your team, not resellers or service providers.

Who is eligible for the Deskwoot Startup Program?
Any company founded within the last 6 months.

You can also stay on the free plan. We email a reminder 14 days before the program ends - no surprise bills, no auto-billing on file.
