Chatboq's Free plan stops at 100 conversations and 1 agent, so busy sites outgrow it fast. Starter is capped at 2,000 conversations and 5 agents, the AI chatbot only arrives on Essentials at $85 per month, and Enterprise requires contacting sales.
Two alternatives are listed, and both have a free plan. Zapier is a no-code automation platform that also builds chatbots; Professional is $19.99 per month for 750 tasks. Microsoft Copilot is an assistant app tied to Microsoft 365, starting at Microsoft 365 Personal, $9.99 per month. Neither is a live chat inbox, so compare features before switching.
"Better suited" below is based on documented features and pricing from our verified profiles, not on a head-to-head test. Prices are USD as published by each vendor.
