The objection
“I’d just be swapping Pylon’s bot for yours.”
You will not. Corebee answers the repetitive questions from your own help docs — and the moment a customer asks for a person, or the answer falls below its own confidence threshold, the conversation goes to your team with the full context attached.
Where Pylon is genuinely stronger is further down this page, in the rows our own comparison scores for them.

The conversation hands over to your team with the whole thread attached.
The AI scores its own certainty
Every answer carries a confidence value. Below your threshold it escalates instead of guessing.
You set what it can and cannot say
Answers are grounded in your verified help docs and the rules you write for them.
It scores every answer, and it stops when the score drops.
The percentage on each reply is the model’s own confidence in what it just said. Under your threshold it does not guess — it hands the conversation to a person, with the thread intact.

I ordered the wrong size and it already shipped. Can I swap it before it arrives?
- Corebee AI96% confidence09:41
Yes — a size swap can be started while the parcel is still in transit. I’ve opened the exchange form for order #10428 with the item pre-filled, and nothing is charged until the original is scanned back in.
- Corebee AI71% confidence09:42
Redirecting to a different address is usually possible while the parcel is at the local depot. Your standard-shipping policy covers that; for express it doesn’t state a cut-off, so I’m answering only the part I can source.
- Handed to your teamEscalated42% confidence09:43
This one asks for a refund outside the published return window, and I can’t find that decision written down anywhere.
Below the handoff threshold — passed to a person with the full thread, the order, and the sources checked.

Common Pylon pain points
What teams tell us when they leave Pylon, and the one thing that changes on each.
Requires a Separate Support Tool
Pylon is a data aggregation layer, not a support platform. You still need Zendesk, Intercom, or another tool to actually answer customer questions — doubling your costs.
With Corebee: One Tool, Not Two. Pylon requires a support tool underneath, so you are paying for two products. Corebee is a complete AI support platform that replaces the entire stack for $99/month on Pro.
Per-Seat Pricing Adds Up Fast
At $59/seat/month, a team of 5 pays $295/month — just for the data layer. Add the support tool underneath and you are easily past $500/month.
With Corebee: AI That Resolves, Not Just Observes. Pylon gives you intelligence about conversations. Corebee's advanced AI actually resolves 86% of them — automatically, 24/7, without human intervention.
Intelligence Without Resolution
Pylon surfaces insights and aggregates conversations from Slack, email, and CRM. But it does not resolve a single ticket.
With Corebee: Pro at $99 vs a $500+ Stack. A 5-person team on Pylon pays $295/month before adding Zendesk or Intercom. Corebee Pro replaces the whole stack at $99/month with no per-seat fees.
Corebee is $99/month flat. That is $401 a month you keep — $4,812 a year.
That $500 is your figure. The $99 is the only number we fill in.

Where Pylon still wins

If those decide how your team works, keep Pylon. We would rather say it here than after you have moved.
Proof
What we will not claim
No customer count.
We do not publish how many companies use Corebee. We are early, and a number chosen to sound larger than it is would be the only thing you remembered.
No resolution rate.
We do not publish a deflection or resolution percentage. It depends on your own help docs and your own questions, so ours would tell you nothing about yours.
No badge wall.
No award graphics, no review-site medals, no borrowed logos anywhere on this page.
Everything we will put a number on is on the right.
