Flat pricing · No per-agent cost

The Front alternative that resolves conversations, not just shares them

Front is a well-built shared inbox for teams that collaborate on a lot of email, and it's genuinely good at that. It's priced per seat, with AI tools like Copilot sold as per-seat add-ons and its AI agent billed per conversation. If most of your inbox is customers asking the same things, Bund AI answers and resolves them itself, at a flat monthly price.

Why switch at all

What teams run into with Front

01

Seats scale with volume

Front charges per seat, and lower tiers cap how many seats you can have. Keeping up with more customer email usually means buying more seats.

02

AI priced per seat, too

Copilot, Smart QA and Smart CSAT are each per-seat add-ons, so AI help multiplies with headcount rather than with the work it removes.

03

Built for humans collaborating

Assignment, comments and rules make a team faster at answering. They don't answer the customer on their own.

In practice

A resolved conversation, not just an assigned ticket

The agent answers the request from your own content, takes the action behind it, and leaves your team a full history if a person needs to step in.

Honestly

When you should stay with Front

Bund AI isn't the better choice for every case. Here's when we'd tell you not to switch:

Much of your inbox is non-customer email: vendors, partners, logistics.
You need SMS, WhatsApp and social channels in one shared inbox.
Internal collaboration on threads is the main thing you're buying.
Your conversations are complex and rarely repeat.
