Frequently asked questions
Is Chatsy cheaper than LiveChat?
For most teams, yes. LiveChat charges per agent plus extra for ChatBot. Chatsy includes AI and unlimited agents in our Pro plan, making it more cost-effective as you scale.
Can I migrate from LiveChat to Chatsy?
Yes! We can help migrate your conversation history and settings. Our support team provides migration assistance for teams switching from LiveChat.
Does Chatsy have canned responses like LiveChat?
Chatsy doesn't need canned responses in the traditional sense, AI generates contextual answers automatically from your knowledge base. For human agents during takeover, you can set up quick-reply templates to speed up common interactions.
What LiveChat features does Chatsy not have?
LiveChat has more mature agent-side analytics like typing indicators, agent ratings, and detailed queue management. Chatsy compensates with AI that handles most queries automatically, so your agents deal with fewer but more meaningful conversations.
Can Chatsy handle the same chat volume as LiveChat?
Yes, and more efficiently. LiveChat requires a human agent for every conversation, while Chatsy's AI handles 70%+ automatically. This means you can manage higher volumes with a smaller team and faster response times.
What is the difference between a chatbot and LiveChat?
A chatbot is automated software that responds to messages without a human, while LiveChat (the product) is a tool primarily designed for human agents to chat with website visitors in real time. LiveChat does sell a separate ChatBot product, but the core LiveChat application is human-agent-first. Chatsy combines both in one platform: AI handles routine questions automatically, and human agents take over when needed.
What are the best online live chat platforms?
For pure human-agent live chat, LiveChat (from $20/seat) and Olark are mature and polished. For AI-first automation alongside live chat, Chatsy and Intercom are common picks. For free or low-cost options, Tawk.to and Tidio's free tier are widely used. The right choice depends on whether you want human-only chat, AI-only automation, or a hybrid: Chatsy is built for the hybrid case.
