Pros and cons

LiveChat

Pros

  • Mature, polished agent app from a long-running vendor
  • AI Agent included on every plan rather than sold separately
  • Large integration catalog covering the main store and CMS platforms
  • SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR and CCPA compliance listed on the site

Cons

  • No free plan, and per-user pricing adds up for teams of four or more
  • Essential caps AI resolutions at 10 a month and live visitor tracking at 50
  • The jump from Essential ($19) to Growth ($79) per user is steep

tawk.to

Pros

  • Free with unlimited agents, which no other tool here matches
  • Ticketing, knowledge base and CRM are free too
