Intercom Fin
AI customer service agent for answering support questions and handing off to teams.
Customer SupportPaid
Flat-priced shared inbox, chat widget and knowledge base with an AI agent, billed per workspace instead of per seat.
Overview
Crisp is a customer messaging platform that bundles a website chat widget, shared inbox for email, WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and SMS, a knowledge base, chatbot builder and an AI agent that answers from your help articles and past conversations. Pricing is per workspace with a fixed number of seats rather than per agent, which makes it predictable for small teams. The AI agent and other AI features draw on a dollar-denominated credit pool included with each paid plan, with pay-as-you-go available once it runs out. A small business typically installs the widget, connects WhatsApp and email, publishes help articles and lets the AI handle first responses outside business hours. It integrates with Shopify, WordPress, Slack, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zapier, Make and WhatsApp Business. A real caveat is that stepping from four to five people moves you from the $45 plan to the $95 plan, so the per-workspace model is cheap for teams that fit a tier and expensive just above the line.
