HubSpot's Customer Agent answers customers using your CRM data and knowledge base. It is available only to Service Hub Professional and Enterprise subscribers, and since April 2026 it costs $0.50 per resolved conversation, paid in HubSpot Credits.

**Bottom line**

- **Best for:** Companies already on HubSpot Professional or Enterprise
- **Not for:** Anyone not on HubSpot, given the seat and onboarding costs
- **Price from:** $0.50 per resolution
- **The catch:** A conversation counts as resolved if the visitor does not ask for a human within 72 hours, and lead qualifications are billed too.

> **For buyers in the United States** There is no federal AI law for customer service bots, but existing rules apply. The FTC treats misleading AI claims as deception, California requires bots to identify themselves when they are used to sell, and AI voices on outbound calls need consent under the TCPA.

## Verdict

For a company already on HubSpot, this is the cheapest published route to an AI agent, and the move from charging per conversation to charging per resolution was a change in the buyer's favor. It is not a reason to buy HubSpot.
