The Crisp alternative

Flat pricing, with the AI included this time

Crisp got flat workspace pricing right. But the AI features that matter — multilingual answering, summaries, auto-tagging — are gated to the $295/month Plus plan, with AI conversations metered by credits. Asks makes the AI agent the core of every plan.

7-day trial · No per-resolution fees

The short version

Why teams switch
01

AI-first from the first plan

On Asks, the $39 Starter plan trains on your site and answers with citations. On Crisp, the serious AI story starts at $295.

02

Made for AI-heavy volume

Crisp's credit allotments suit teams where humans answer most things. If AI should take 60%+ of your volume, Asks' allowances are built for it.

03

Grounded, cited answers

Every reply shows its sources, and a groundedness check catches unsupported answers before customers see them.

Fair is fair

When Crisp is the better choice

  • You want a free plan for 2 seats to start (Asks offers a 7-day trial instead).
  • You use Crisp's campaigns, CRM, and co-browsing as much as its chat.
  • Your team answers most conversations personally and AI is a bonus.
Questions

Is Asks cheaper than Crisp?

For AI-heavy support, yes — Crisp's full AI feature set requires the $295/month Plus plan, while Asks includes its complete AI agent from $39/month. For a big human team doing mostly manual chat, Crisp's per-workspace pricing remains excellent.

Does Asks have flat pricing like Crisp?

Yes — that's one thing both products agree on. Plans are per workspace ($39/$149/$349) with 10/25/50 seats included, not per-seat.

Can Asks answer in multiple languages?

Yes — the agent detects the customer's language and replies in it, on every plan. On Crisp, multilingual AI is a Plus-plan feature.
