Nine head-to-heads with the products people weigh us against. Each one says plainly where the other product is the better choice, and every competitor figure is sourced, linked and dated. ## How does Aivastark compare with other AI support tools? Aivastark is an AI agent that answers customers on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and email at a flat monthly price from $12, with a permanent free plan. Most alternatives meter the AI instead: Intercom Fin per outcome, Gorgias per interaction, Tidio per Lyro conversation, Chatbase per reply credit and Twig per chat, the WhatsApp marketing tools WATI, Interakt and AiSensy sell their AI as an add-on or a separate product, and Manychat bills per active contact. Where another product is the better choice, such as answering phone calls or running a staffed ticket queue, each comparison says so. ## At a glance | Product | How the AI is billed | What the AI costs | Paid plans from | Free plan | Answers phone calls | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Aivastark | Flat monthly plan, AI replies included | $39 for 5,000 replies | $12/month | Yes, 300 replies a month, no card | No | | [Chatbase](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-chatbase.md) | Per AI reply (message credit) | $40 for 700 replies | $40/month | Yes, 50 replies a month | Yes, voice from $150/month | | [Intercom Fin](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-intercom-fin.md) | Per outcome, plus seats | $0.99 per outcome | $39 per seat a month (list), plus outcomes | No; trial runs 14 days, no card | Yes: Fin Voice, $1.99 per voice outcome | | [Tidio](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-tidio.md) | Per conversation, with Lyro AI conversations on top | $0.58–$0.78 per Lyro conversation | $29/month | Yes, 50 conversations a month | No phone line listed | | [Gorgias](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-gorgias.md) | Per AI interaction, on top of a helpdesk plan | $0.90–$1.00 per interaction | $10/month (helpdesk) | No; 7-day trial, no card | Voice add-on for your team's calls; the AI doesn't take calls | | [Twig](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-twig.md) | Per chat, plus voice minutes | $49 for 500 chats | $49/month | No; 15-day trial, no card | Yes, on every plan | | [WATI](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-wati.md) | Inbox plan per month, AI agent (Astra) priced separately, message fees resold | Astra from $99 for 5,000 credits, on WATI Pro or Business | $69/month ($49 in Pakistan) | No; 7-day trial (Astra has a free tier for web chat) | WhatsApp Business Calling | | [Interakt](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-interakt.md) | Plan per month with unlimited agents; AI Agents an add-on; message fees resold | $74.99/month AI Agents add-on | $55/month ($12 for Instagram only) | No; two-week trial, no card | Voice calling listed | | [AiSensy](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-aisensy.md) | Plan per month plus add-ons; message fees resold | $50/month for 1,000 AI messages | $45/month | Yes, with the WhatsApp API | No phone line listed | | [Manychat](https://www.aivastark.com/compare/aivastark-vs-manychat.md) | Per active contact a month, with a fee for each extra contact | AI included from Manychat Pro ($39/month) | $17/month ($14 billed yearly) | Yes, 25 active contacts a month | No phone line listed | Competitor figures come from each vendor's own pages and carry the month they were checked.

Aivastark has no phone line. - **Your team works a ticket queue all day: Gorgias.** Refunds, cancellations and order edits happen inside the conversation, and seats aren't priced per agent. - **You already run on Intercom: Intercom Fin.** Fin works inside the helpdesk you have. Replacing a working stack to cut the AI line is rarely worth it. - **You want to choose the AI model: Chatbase.** Run the agent on OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral and others. Aivastark picks the standard model for you. - **You want human live chat with a little AI: Tidio.** A mature live-chat inbox with up to 10 seats, and Messenger, Instagram, WhatsApp and email even on its free plan. - **You send WhatsApp broadcasts and campaigns: WATI.** Broadcasts, templates, COD confirmation and abandoned-cart flows for Shopify. Aivastark sends none of them. - **A big team shares one WhatsApp inbox: Interakt.** Unlimited agents and contacts on every plan, plus a sales CRM. Aivastark has 1–10 seats. - **You want the WhatsApp API free to start: AiSensy.** Its free plan includes the WhatsApp Business API and a blue-tick application, with broadcasts from $45 a month. - **You grow through Instagram and TikTok comments: Manychat.** Comment-to-DM automations, broadcasts and flows, billed per person rather than per message. Aivastark doesn't reply to comments. - **You want the AI on the front line at a flat price: Aivastark.** It answers on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and email from $12 a month, and hands off to your team with the full thread. ## Head to head ### Aivastark vs Chatbase Choose Chatbase if you want to pick your own model (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and others), need phone voice, or want its deep Stripe and Shopify actions, and your volume is modest. Choose Aivastark if volume is what you're paying for. Aivastark's $39 Starter plan includes 5,000 AI replies against 700 on Chatbase's $40 Hobby plan, and overage is $1.20–$4.00 per 1,000 replies instead of $40. The free plan is permanent and needs no card.

Choose Aivastark if you want the AI bill fixed in advance. Fin charges $0.99 per outcome plus Intercom seats (Essential lists at $39 a month), while Aivastark is a flat monthly price from $12 that includes seats, with a permanent free plan.

Choose Aivastark if you want an AI agent at the centre and a bill that doesn't grow with AI conversations: Lyro costs about $0.70–$0.78 per AI conversation on monthly billing (about $0.58–$0.65 billed yearly), while Aivastark's $39 plan includes 5,000 AI replies. Aivastark's free plan is permanent and needs no card.

Choose Aivastark if you want an AI agent on the front line at a flat monthly price. Gorgias bills its AI Agent at roughly $0.90–$1.00 per interaction, and each one also counts as a helpdesk ticket, while Aivastark starts at $12/month with a permanent free plan.

Its Sera front desk answers real calls on every plan, and also replies by text, web chat, email and WhatsApp. Choose Aivastark if your customers message you, especially on Instagram, Messenger or Telegram, which Twig doesn't list, and you want far more conversations per dollar. Aivastark's $39 plan includes 5,000 AI replies; Twig's $49 plan includes 500 chats.

Aivastark builds none of those. Choose Aivastark if the job is answering customers: its $39 Starter plan includes 5,000 AI credits and replies on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram, while WATI sells its knowledge-trained AI agent, Astra, as a separate product from $99 a month for 5,000 credits, and it connects only to the WATI Pro or Business plan. Aivastark also doesn't resell WhatsApp message fees: Meta bills your own WhatsApp Business account.

Choose Aivastark if you want the AI included rather than added: Interakt's AI Agents are a $74.99 monthly add-on to its Growth ($55) or Advanced ($69) plans, while Aivastark's $39 Starter includes 5,000 AI credits and answers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram. Aivastark doesn't send broadcasts or templates.

Choose Aivastark if you want an AI that answers customers beyond WhatsApp: AiSensy is WhatsApp only, its AI Agent Builder is a $50 monthly add-on with 1,000 AI messages, and its AI agent FAQ says the agent replies in English only, while Aivastark's $39 Starter answers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram in 80+ languages, including Roman Urdu and Urdu.

Choose Aivastark if the job is customer support: it answers from your whole website, files and Shopify or WooCommerce catalogue, looks up real orders, adds a chat widget to your website and hands off to your team, while a Manychat AI Step works from up to 10,000 characters of context you write. Aivastark sends no broadcasts or comment replies.

Aivastark charges a flat monthly plan that includes AI replies: $12 for 1,000, $39 for 5,000, $129 for 25,000 and $319 for 75,000, and a free plan with 300. The others compared here meter the AI: Intercom Fin charges $0.99 per outcome plus seats, Gorgias $0.90–$1.00 per AI interaction, Tidio's Lyro about $0.58–$0.78 per AI conversation, Chatbase $40 for 700 replies and Twig $49 for 500 chats. A standard reply is one credit; gpt-4o replies, images, voice and tool steps use more. ### Which of these tools answer phone calls? Twig's Sera answers calls on every plan, Chatbase adds voice from its $150 plan, and Intercom sells Fin Voice at $1.99 per voice outcome. Gorgias sells a voice add-on, but the calls are answered by your team, not its AI Agent, and Tidio lists no phone line. Aivastark doesn't answer phone calls: it answers messages on your website, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Telegram and email. ### Which is better for WhatsApp: Aivastark, WATI, Interakt or AiSensy? It depends on whether you mostly send messages or answer them. WATI, Interakt and AiSensy are WhatsApp marketing tools: broadcasts, templates and Shopify order flows, with AI sold separately (WATI's Astra from $99 for 5,000 credits on WATI Pro or Business, Interakt's AI Agents at $74.99 a month, AiSensy's AI Agent Builder at $50). Aivastark sends no broadcasts; it answers customers on WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Telegram with the AI included, from $39 a month, and Meta bills message fees to your own account. ### Does Aivastark have a free plan? Yes. It is permanent, needs no card and includes 300 AI replies a month on one website. Paid plans start at $12 a month, and each starts with a 7-day trial that asks for a card. ### How current are the prices on these pages? Each page says the month its competitor figures were checked and links the vendor pages they came from. Prices move: Twig's entry plan fell from $99 to $49 and its free plan went between our September and October checks. If a figure looks out of date, email support@aivastark.com. ### Can I move to Aivastark from another tool? Yes. Point Aivastark at the same website pages or upload the same files. Conversation history doesn't transfer, so export it from the old tool first if you need it. ## In depth on the blog - [9 best Intercom alternatives](https://www.aivastark.com/blog/9-best-intercom-alternatives-in-2026-pricing-compared) — Nine platforms ranked with pricing compared, including Plain, Help Scout, Tidio, Gorgias and Zendesk. - [What is Intercom Fin?](https://www.aivastark.com/blog/what-is-intercom-fin) — What Intercom's AI agent is, how it answers from your help centre, and how its per-outcome pricing works. - [AI chatbot vs live chat](https://www.aivastark.com/blog/ai-chatbot-vs-live-chat-which-is-better-in-2026) — Cost per conversation, response time, spike behaviour and where human empathy still wins. - [Build vs buy an AI support agent](https://www.aivastark.com/blog/build-vs-buy-ai-customer-support-agents-a-guide) — Three-year total cost of building an AI support agent in-house against buying a platform. ## Pricing Aivastark has 6 public plans.
