Where each one falls short

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

Jivochat

  • The free plan keeps only 2 months of chat history and has no CRM
  • The Chat API, chat routing and the mobile SDK are all Enterprise only, at $56 per agent per month billed annually
  • The WhatsApp module is a $27 a month add on on every plan including Enterprise
  • The Professional plan caps the account at 100 agents
  • Pricing is per agent, so support cost scales with headcount rather than conversation volume

Haptik

  • No pricing is published, and no tier, cost structure or minimum is disclosed
  • The only routes to a figure are a demo request or an enterprise sales email
