The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/customer-support ## Keep it, 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. - You could make: Reports: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. - You could not: An AI model answering your customers from your own help articles. - You could not: The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners. - You could not: A chatbot builder hooked into the messaging apps. - You could not: Texts from a business number, registered with the carriers. - You could not: It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Workato and Medallia among them.
