Bottom line
Halo (Halo Service Solutions) is an all-in-one service-management and workflow-automation platform covering ESM, ITSM, customer service, CRM and PSA. It is priced per agent with every module, AI feature and 250+ native integration included — no tiers or add-ons — with a 70-agent team costing roughly £55k per year; the Enterprise Package adds unlimited licences and funded implementation for a fixed $1M yearly. Buyers get one system for tickets, assets, projects and billing, backed by SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 claims, but must fund a bespoke onboarding package.
Frequently asked questions
How is Halo priced?
Per agent (named or concurrent), billed monthly or annually. The published UK rate is £66 per agent per month billed annually, so a 70-agent team pays about £55,440 a year. Every module, AI feature and integration is included — Halo states there are no tiers, editions or add-ons. Large organisations can take the Enterprise Package: unlimited licences plus funded implementation for a fixed $1M per year.
Is there a mandatory implementation fee?
Yes. Halo's pricing page states that onboarding packages are required with purchase at a bespoke cost depending on scope, so licence fees should be budgeted alongside a services engagement. No published figure exists, so the exact amount depends on the deployment and must be quoted.
What AI does Halo include and what does it cost?
AI Agents, Suggested Replies, Draft Responses, AI Analysis, AI Triaging and Sentiment Analysis are listed as included as standard in the per-agent price, not as a paid add-on. AI features are optional and can be disabled at any time; Halo's privacy policy states that AI functions route data to OpenAI as a subprocessor, that data is processed in memory and not retained, and that it is not used to train OpenAI's models.
Which compliance certifications does Halo hold?
Halo's security page states that Halo Service Solutions Ltd is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and ISO 27001 compliant (details on request) and has completed Cyber Essentials. No HIPAA, FedRAMP, ISO 42001 or GDPR certification is claimed on that page. Cloud applications run on AWS across six regions with defined backup, incident-management and vulnerability-disclosure procedures.
Which systems does Halo integrate with?
Halo advertises 250+ native integrations, including AWS asset synchronisation, Azure AD/Entra SSO, Azure Monitor, Azure Sentinel, Azure DevOps, Dynamics 365 Business Central, Adobe Commerce, Datadog, ConnectWise and Datto RMM, plus telephony, payment and distribution connectors. The vendor says optional customisations and custom integrations are available at no extra cost.
Who is Halo best suited to?
Mid-market and enterprise organisations consolidating IT service management, enterprise service management, customer service, sales and projects onto one platform, plus managed service providers needing service desk and PSA billing together. It is less suited to very small teams wanting a cheap self-serve ticketing tool, or buyers who need to license modules individually.
