Its managed chat lets firms choose an AI chatbot, or human agents backed by AI, and keeps coverage 24/7/365 with AI-to-live-agent handoff for complex or high-value conversations. The pricing page says managed live chat plans start as low as $49 a month, with Grow covering 1 to 500 website visitors and one user, and Pro, Pro+ and Advanced scaling to 10,000 visitors.
