How we grade them
| 2.6GPARe:amazeGood | 3.2GPATidioVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BStarter is $59 a month for any number of people with the Basic features, $11.80 a head for a team of five, inside the cheaper quarter of help desks, as long as you answer under 500 conversations a month. Per seat, Basic is $26.10 billed yearly, which is what one person pays. | AGrowth, from 250 conversations, is $49.17 a month billed yearly for the whole team, about $9.83 a head for five, just under 60% of what the cheaper quarter of help desks charges. Starter is $24.17 for 100 conversations, under $5 a head. |
| Free plan and trial | CA 14-day free trial with all the Plus features and no card needed, so you see the lot. There's no free plan to fall back on when it ends. | CA free plan with 10 seats, live chat, ticketing and the social channels, plus a 7-day trial with no card. The cap you'll hit is 50 answered conversations a month, and Lyro's 50 free conversations come once, not monthly. |
| Features | BOne inbox for email, chat, social, SMS and voice, chatbots, a public FAQ, a status page, an AI agent and store orders beside each message. Across the plans it covers the whole job. | CLive chat with a visitor list, one inbox for five channels, ticketing, the Lyro AI agent, rule-based Flows and AI reply help. But the listing has no help center or phone support, and ongoing Lyro use is an add-on from $39 a month. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You connect your inboxes, social accounts and store, set up the chat box and bots, and decide what the AI agent answers. That's a fair bit before it runs smoothly. | A4.76 from 4,767 App Store ratings, the top band for support apps. Adding the chat box to a Shopify or WordPress store is what it's built around. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Shopify, BigCommerce, WordPress, Stripe, Slack, Jira, Aircall and Zapier, and an API. No desktop app, so it stops at a B. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android apps for agents, with Shopify, WordPress, Zendesk, Salesforce and Zapier, and an API. That's every device type covered. |
| Best for | a shared inbox for small online stores | live chat for small online stores |
