Chatra

  • Free plan is capped at 5 chats per month and one agent seat
  • Essential and Pro tiers are billed per agent seat at $31/month and $41/month (or $25/month and $33/month if billed yearly), so cost rises directly with headcount

Yellow.ai

  • Free plan caps chat sessions at 500 per month, then charges $0.99 per additional resolution
  • Enterprise plan pricing is not published and requires contacting sales for a custom quote
  • Basic plan pricing is not disclosed on the pricing page either, only feature details
