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.
LiveChat
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.
Typebot
Conversational forms, open source
Typebot builds a form that behaves like a chat: one question at a time, branching on the answers, embedded in a page or sent as a link. The free plan runs two hundred conversations a month with no cap on how many bots exist. It is open source, so the whole thing can be self-hosted instead of subscribed to. Pricing counts chats rather than seats, which means a bot that gets popular costs more even if nobody else joins the team.
