Side-by-side
Where each platform actually wins
SLAtech
Wins on
- AI-first, not inbox-first — bot handles full conversation, not just suggested replies
- Vertical-specialised RAG vs Crisp's generic MagicReply across all use cases
- Telegram channel — Crisp focuses on web + email + WhatsApp + Messenger
- EU-hosted (we're Azure EU; Crisp is French OVH — both EU-native, parity here)
- Hebrew RTL polish; Crisp Hebrew layout has known RTL bugs in the admin
Crisp
Still wins on
- Mature unified inbox UX for human-agent live chat — best-in-class for support teams
- 1500+ public integrations marketplace
- Strong email-marketing automation layer alongside chat
The pricing fact
One number both sides agree on
Crisp Unlimited is $295/month flat (10 seats). MagicReply AI is metered per resolution. SLAtech Pro (€89/mo) ships unlimited bot resolutions with no per-resolution meter.
