Choose it for: Support teams already on Zendesk or Freshdesk that want an AI agent in front of human agents
Starting price: $34/month billed annually ($40 monthly)
Watch for: Starter includes only one team member and 250 conversations a month; helpdesk integrations need Professional
Choose it for: Small and growing support teams that want a shared inbox and live chat without paying per agent
Starting price: Free; paid plans from $39/month
Watch for: Meaningful AI usage needs the Eva AI token add-on at $59/month; WhatsApp and full social channels are Business-only
