Chat-Assistenten · alternatives
People look past CartPilot mainly because of its structure. Conversations are capped per plan (200, 500 or 1,000 per month), so busy stores must buy credit packs that expire after 12 months. It supports WooCommerce only, with Shopify not yet live, and subscriptions and credit packs are non-refundable.
ChatGPT is a general assistant rather than a store widget; its Plus (consumer) plan starts at $20 per month and it has a free tier. Character.AI also has a free tier, but its starting price is not stated in our verified data. Notion AI starts at $12 per member per month on Plus and has a free tier, which suits teams who want AI inside documents instead of a shopper-facing agent. Zapier starts at $19.99 per month on Professional (750 tasks per month) and is the one to consider if you want to automate store workflows rather than chat with customers. None of these is a drop-in sales widget, so the trade-off is flexibility against a ready-made cart integration.
