Customer messaging platform for live chat, support inboxes, and website communication workflows.
SMB ecommerce support across chat and email
Crisp is shared inbox + website chat for SMBs: one workspace price (not per conversation) with unlimited conversation positioning on marketing copy.
crisp.chat/en/pricing (March 2026): Free for solopreneurs includes website chat widget, 2 seats, shared inbox, mobile apps, chat SDKs, contact forms, ecommerce connectors, and push notifications—no AI credits on the free card. Mini is $45/month per workspace with 4 seats, shared email inbox, ~90 automated conversations cited, $5 included AI credits, and canned responses. Essentials $95/month bumps seats and AI credits ($25 included) with chatbots, triggers, and richer automation on the feature list. Plus $295/month targets larger teams with $75 AI credits and advanced modules (CRM sync, campaigns, etc.—confirm in matrix). Additional operator seats use tiered per-month add-ons on the pricing table ($5 / $25 / $75 bands in the fetched comparison).
Positioning emphasizes unlimited conversations versus consumption-billed chat competitors—still validate seat, workspace, and AI credit needs.
