Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
WhatsApp, Instagram and web chat in one inbox
Gallabox is a shared inbox for WhatsApp Business, Instagram and a website widget, with a drag-and-drop bot builder in front of it and a CRM sync behind it. It is aimed at teams answering sales questions rather than at a single creator answering DMs, and the seat caps on the cheap plan say so.
Our note
Worth it if WhatsApp is where your customers already are and there is more than one of you answering. The three-account cap on Basic is a hard cap rather than a soft one, so count your team before choosing that tier.
Only on this side
Live chat with the price printed both ways
LiveChat puts a chat window on a site and routes the conversations to whoever is answering, with canned replies, transcripts and a record of what somebody was looking at when they asked. It is priced per person rather than per conversation, so a solo operator pays for one seat. The chatbot is a separate product from the same company at its own price. For a creator selling a course or a service, this is the direct line.

Our note
Price the chatbot in from the start if deflecting questions was the reason you came, because the live chat subscription does not include it and the combined figure is a different decision. For a one-person operation the entry tier is genuinely usable rather than a stripped demonstration.
