HubSpot and Tawk both offer AI customer support platforms designed to deflect support tickets and improve customer service efficiency. HubSpot's AI customer support features are integrated into its Service Hub Professional and Service Hub Enterprise tiers, which provide up to 5,000 snippets for customer interaction. Key features include human handover, analytics and insights, an AI email assistant, and email lead capture. Pricing for HubSpot's AI support is provided on application (POA), suggesting a customized pricing model based on specific business needs.
Tawk, on the other hand, offers a more straightforward pricing model at $20 per 1,000 tickets/chats, with usage tiers ranging from a Hobby plan with 100 messages per month to an Enterprise plan with 20,000 messages per month. Similar to HubSpot, Tawk includes human handover, analytics and insights, and email lead capture in its feature set. However, it does not offer an AI email assistant. Tawk's structured pricing and tiered plans may appeal to businesses with varying levels of support needs, providing a scalable solution for customer support.
