Zendesk AI alternatives that sign a HIPAA BAA
Zendesk AI: only on some plans or setups. See the plan-by-plan breakdown.
Before you switch from Zendesk AI
You may not have to. Zendesk signs a BAA for Zendesk AI on Zendesk Suite Professional / Enterprise (and Enterprise Support) with Advanced Compliance add-on. If you’re on another plan, upgrading may be simpler than moving your team. Even then, these stay outside the BAA: Zendesk QA AI assist; Early Access Program AI features and Built-by-Zendesk Marketplace apps.

Listed tools offer a BAA on at least one plan according to their own published terms. A BAA alone doesn’t make your use HIPAA compliant: you still need the right plan, configuration and policies. Not legal advice.
