Seamless human takeover
You could run both temporarily during evaluation, but they serve overlapping functions. Most teams find Chatsy replaces Crisp entirely since it offers live chat, AI chatbot, knowledge base, and ticketing, all the core features Crisp provides plus more advanced AI.
Chatsy focuses on customer support rather than CRM. We track conversation history and customer context, but for full CRM functionality, we integrate with dedicated tools like HubSpot and Salesforce rather than building a basic CRM into the chat tool.
Crisp offers a free plan that includes live chat for up to two operators with no time limit. Paid plans (Pro from around €25/workspace and Unlimited at higher tiers) unlock chatbot scenarios, integrations, and team features. Chatsy's free tier is comparable for getting started, but it includes AI-powered automatic responses rather than just manual live chat.
Crisp is a customer messaging platform combining live chat, a shared multi-channel inbox (email, Messenger, Telegram, Twitter), basic chatbot scenarios, and a knowledge base. It's positioned for small-to-mid teams that want one tool to handle multiple support channels. For AI-driven automation rather than scenario-based bots, Chatsy's LLM approach handles natural variations Crisp's scenarios cannot.
