Kore.ai

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Kore.ai's site on 17 June 2020 confirmed its named products, Kora (Enterprise Virtual Assistant) and Deflect.ai (Digital Deflection Platform), are sold to enterprise buyers across banking, insurance, healthcare and retail with no published price list and a dedicated pricing path that itself 404s.

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
