A “+” means the real bill is at least this much because higher tiers aren't public. Replied prices from our pricing page (Starter $29, Growth $99, Business $299).
Costs and catches to watch for
- Seat cliffs: the 11th agent forces a jump from $95 to $295.
- AI credits expire monthly, and Hugo stops answering when they run out.
- Hugo takes work to tune.
- Reporting is shallow, with limited transcripts and filters.

When Crisp is worth it
Crisp is a strong omnichannel inbox (WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS, email and more) with a knowledge base and status page. If you mainly need a human helpdesk, it's a solid choice.
Where Replied is different
- Far more AI per dollar. Starter includes 500 AI conversations for $29/mo, compared with roughly 90 on a $45 plan.
- Never goes silent. At your limit, the widget still collects emails and routes visitors to your team.
- No seat cliffs. Unlimited seats from Starter, so growing the team never forces a plan jump.
