Why growing teams choose CorePiper

CorePiper was built for operations teams of every size — not just enterprises with massive ticket volumes.

Deploy in Days

Starting at $49/user/month with a 14-day free trial, CorePiper makes AI automation accessible to teams of every size. No enterprise-only sales cycles, no opaque “contact us” pricing.

Why Teams Switch

The real reasons teams leave Forethought

We hear the same frustrations from every team that makes the switch.

20,000 ticket minimum locks out most companies

Forethought's volume requirements mean the vast majority of support teams simply can't use it. If you're handling fewer than 20,000 tickets per month, you don't even qualify.

Weeks of setup before seeing any value

Between knowledge base configuration, workflow mapping, and training cycles, you'll wait weeks before Forethought delivers any meaningful automation. CorePiper lets you upload SOPs and go live in about a day.

No Jira integration whatsoever

If your engineering team uses Jira for issue tracking and escalation, Forethought offers zero integration. Your support and engineering workflows remain disconnected.

Built for massive enterprises only

With $115M in funding to recoup, Forethought's pricing and sales process are designed for large enterprises. Growing teams are an afterthought, not a priority.
