Why teams are leaving Front
Real feedback from real users. These are the problems that push teams to look for alternatives.
$105/Seat Enterprise Pricing
Front Enterprise costs $105/seat/month. A 10-person team pays $1,050/month. Support Station Starter is $149/month flat.
“$40,000/year and NO phone support.”
AI Add-On Stacking
AI Copilot is $20/seat extra, plus $0.89/resolution for Autopilot. Full AI for 10 people costs $1,550+/month.
“Even their AI stuff cost $0.70 per resolution, which is complete nonsense.”
1.9-Star Support Rating
Front sells support software but has a 1.9/5 Trustpilot rating for their own support quality.
“Their support team is lazy and unhelpful. They don't even bother reading my tickets properly.”
Support Station solves these problems
Flat-rate pricing. AI included. Unlimited team members. No surprises.
