Coniva.ai bills in tokens, and that drives most departures. The Free plan stops at 150 tokens a month and 1 seat, Starter is $99 per month for 2,500 tokens and Professional $199 for 10,000. Actions and handoffs consume tokens too, so a busy inbox burns through them, and overage costs $0.04 per token on Starter or $0.02 on Professional. White labeling adds $29 per month. Developers also hit gaps: API access is marked coming soon, as are integrations such as Slack, Zapier and HubSpot. Prices checked on 2026-10-02.
ChatGPT is a general assistant rather than a support-channel product: a free tier exists and Plus is $20 per month, but nothing in our data says it connects to WhatsApp, Facebook or Instagram chat. Zapier fills the integration gap Coniva.ai lists as coming soon: its free tier and $19.99 Professional plan (750 tasks a month) connect 9,000+ apps and include AI agents and chatbots, so a team could wire its own support flow.
