First, match the product to the support job

Both products appear in ai support agents. That overlap gives you a starting point; it does not mean the products cover the same channels, workflows, or deployment model.

The table below preserves each vendor’s scope and qualifiers. An unlisted feature is unverified here; it is not a claim that the feature is unavailable.

Before you decide

Decagon vs Parloa: buying questions

How should I compare Decagon and Parloa pricing?

Decagon: Per-conversation or per-resolution pricing, with negotiated rates affected by volume and commitment. Ask how resolutions are measured and which implementation and channel costs are included. Parloa: Consumption-based pricing tied to task complexity and effort. Proposals consider interaction volume and use cases; request implementation, telephony and ongoing usage costs together. Ask both vendors to quote the same expected workload, required channels, and implementation scope. Include required subscriptions and usage charges before comparing the total; the listed starting prices alone may cover different work.

Can Decagon and Parloa use my existing knowledge?

The recorded sources for Decagon include help docs; past tickets; product data; billing/CRM APIs. For Parloa, they include enterprise knowledge; past tickets; CRM/ERP data; policies. Ask each vendor to demonstrate ingestion or live access for the exact system you use, with permissions and refresh behavior. A source missing from this directory is not proof that a vendor cannot support it.

What should I test in a Decagon vs Parloa pilot?

Use the same sample of real support requests, approved knowledge, and escalation rules in both pilots. Can it cite or restrict answers to approved knowledge? What happens when the agent is uncertain? Which actions can it complete beyond answering? Record answer quality, completed tasks, human handoffs, and total cost in the buyer worksheet. Check these specific cautions before launch: Decagon: No public rate card; may require a separate helpdesk for human workflows and reporting. Parloa: Implementation and contract pricing are significant; published third-party prices are not official.
