Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Conferbot
- The free plan is capped at 600 conversations per month and a single seat, which limits it to very small operations.
- Advanced features like custom branding and A/B testing require the Pro tier or higher rather than being available at entry-level paid plans.
- Extra conversations beyond plan limits are billed per-unit ($0.01 each on Starter/Pro), which can make costs unpredictable at scale.
- The platform lacks the deep enterprise conversational-AI training and analytics depth of larger incumbents like Intercom or Drift.
- Voice channel support is not part of the core channel list, which is limited to website and text-based messaging apps.
Gorgias
- Helpdesk plans are metered by ticket volume, scaling from 50 to 5,000 tickets a month rather than a flat per-agent fee
- The AI Agent is billed separately per resolved conversation on every plan rather than included in the flat seat or ticket price
