Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Document360

  • No published flat-rate pricing makes it hard to compare costs upfront against competitors.
  • Requires a sales quote process rather than instant self-service signup for paid plans.
  • Advanced AI features are usage-metered and may require additional purchases.
  • Smaller teams may find the enterprise-oriented feature set more complex than needed.

LiveChat

  • The Starter plan retains only 60 days of chat history, so an audit trail requires the Team plan at $49 per person per month
  • Pricing is per agent, so support cost scales with headcount rather than with conversation volume
  • AI reply suggestions are capped by plan, at 3 knowledge sources on Starter and 10 above it
  • Surveys and eye catchers are predefined rather than customisable below the Enterprise plan
  • SSO, white labelling and HIPAA compliance are Enterprise only
