Crisp

Crisp gives customer support teams a shared inbox, live chat widget, and AI agents trained on your help content and past conversations. Hugo, its AI support teammate, resolves tickets, drafts replies, and automates repetitive tasks across chat, email, and social channels. You connect knowledge base articles, website pages, Q&A snippets, and conversation history to teach the model how your team actually responds.

Crisp charges a flat rate per workspace rather than billing per conversation, which the pricing page highlights as a way to scale support without unpredictable overages. Essentials and Plus plans add omnichannel inboxes for WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, and SMS, plus a visual workflow builder for AI chatbots. The internal copilot suggests contextual replies to agents without the same guardrails applied to customer-facing bots.

Startups, SaaS companies, and e-commerce brands that want one platform for live chat, ticketing, and AI-assisted replies are the core audience. A free forever plan covers 2 seats with the website chat widget, while paid tiers scale to 20+ agents and include bundled AI credits from $5 to $75 per month.
