ChatBot.com, part of Text, bundles an AI agent, live chat and help desk, and its proactive tools make it workable for lead capture. Proactive campaigns and live visitor tracking start on Essential, which costs $19 per user a month billed yearly, and the AI sales skill adds buying intent detection and proactive chat invitations. The AI agent can be given custom skills and a tone of voice, and hands the conversation to a person when needed. Channels on the entry plan include website, in-app, a chat page, Messenger, WhatsApp, SMS through Twilio and Shopify selling. The constraint is volume: Essential includes one AI agent, 10 AI resolutions a month, three proactive campaigns and 50 tracked visitors. Growth at $79 per user raises that to 10 agents, 200 resolutions and 30 campaigns, and extra AI resolutions cost $49.50 per 50. Teams with real traffic should price Growth from the start.
