Pros & Cons

cnvrse

Pros

  • Lightweight — adds under 20 KB of JavaScript to the site
  • Conversation data stays in the site's own WordPress database rather than a third-party server
  • No per-agent fees across any pricing tier
  • Forwards chats to Telegram, Slack, Discord, or WhatsApp so replies work from a phone
  • Free Lite version available before committing to a paid license
  • Works with WooCommerce product, cart, and checkout pages

Cons

  • WordPress-only — no support for other CMS or website platforms
  • Yearly license required to keep receiving updates and priority support
  • Free Lite tier is limited to the core widget and Telegram integration only
  • No native mobile app; replies happen through the connected messaging apps
  • No built-in AI chatbot or automation — purely a human-operated chat forwarding tool

Smartsupp

Pros

  • Genuinely usable free plan for very small sites or early-stage businesses
  • Combines live chat and AI chatbot in one affordable platform rather than requiring separate tools
  • Multichannel support for WhatsApp and Messenger in addition to on-site chat
  • Annual billing offers a meaningful roughly 30 percent discount over monthly pricing

Cons

  • Free plan's 25 conversation per month cap is quite limiting for active stores
  • Mira AI Agent is a separate add-on with its own pricing rather than being bundled into core plans
  • Higher operator counts on Expert and Enterprise plans can add up in cost for larger support teams
  • Smaller company size relative to larger live chat competitors like Intercom or Zendesk
