How we compared
We looked at each product as a business with five support people and about 500 AI conversations a month would, mostly on WhatsApp, on four things:
- Channels: WhatsApp, website chat, voice and email.
- AI actions: whether the AI can look things up and change things in your own systems, and how safely.
- Team: the inbox, hand-off and who can see which chats.
- Price: list price for 5 seats and 500 AI conversations a month.
Everything comes from public pricing and product pages. We didn't test answer quality or speed, and resolution rates are each vendor's own figures.
