AI customer support agent features & capabilities compared:Salesforce AIvs. Crisp
Salesforce AI and Crisp both offer AI customer support platforms designed to deflect support tickets, but they differ significantly in their features and pricing structures. Salesforce AI charges $2,000 per 1,000 tickets or chats, with no detailed information provided about usage tiers, human handover, analytics/insights, AI email assistant, or email lead capture. This suggests a potentially premium pricing model, though the lack of detailed feature disclosure makes it difficult to fully gauge its comprehensive capabilities.
On the other hand, Crisp offers a more flexible pricing model with usage tiers labeled Basic, Pro, and Unlimited, all of which have no usage limits. The pricing for Crisp is provided upon request (POA). Crisp includes features such as human handover, analytics/insights, and email lead capture, but it does not offer an AI email assistant. This broad range of features, especially the inclusion of human handover and analytics, positions Crisp as a potentially more versatile option for businesses seeking detailed customer support capabilities.
