Best for enterprise messaging and AI agents
LivePerson is a messaging and AI agent platform for enterprise service. Bronze, Silver and Gold are sold by quote only, and its pricing page says it was acquired by SoundHound AI.
Who LivePerson is for
- Fits if you run an enterprise service desk on messaging
- Works for teams that already buy through a sales rep
Who LivePerson is not for
- Skip it if you want a price, since plans are by quote
- Tight if you want analytics or generative AI, because those depend on entitlements agreed with a rep
- Pricey if you send WhatsApp or SMS campaigns, as proactive messages are billed at provider rates plus a 15% handling fee
- Watch out: the pricing page says LivePerson has been acquired by SoundHound AI

Keep LivePerson, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace LivePerson you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 67 of the 92 other help desk and live chat tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps.
- Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Workato and Medallia among them.
What this rests on. LivePerson’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
