Flat pricing · No per-agent cost

The LiveChat alternative with the AI agent built in

LiveChat is polished live chat software for human agents, with a large marketplace and agent-assist AI included. It's priced per agent, and the autonomous AI agent is a separate product with its own per-user plans and resolution caps. Bund AI starts from the AI agent: it answers visitors around the clock, takes the action, and hands off to your team when needed, at one flat price.

Why switch at all

What teams run into with LiveChat

01

Live chat needs people online

Live chat is only as fast as whoever's logged in. After hours or at peak, visitors wait or leave.

02

Per-agent pricing

Every plan is priced per agent seat, so covering more hours means paying for more seats.

03

The AI agent is a separate product

Autonomous AI resolution comes from a sister product with its own plans and monthly resolution limits, not from your LiveChat plan.

In practice

A resolved conversation, not just an assigned ticket

The agent answers the request from your own content, takes the action behind it, and leaves your team a full history if a person needs to step in.

Honestly

When you should stay with LiveChat

Bund AI isn't the better choice for every case. Here's when we'd tell you not to switch:

You run a large human chat team and want the most polished agent tooling.
You depend on LiveChat's marketplace of integrations.
You need Apple Messages or SMS in the same chat inbox.
Your chats are mostly high-touch sales where a human should always answer.
FAQ

Questions people ask

How is Bund AI different from LiveChat?
LiveChat is built for human agents chatting in real time, with AI to assist them. Bund AI is built around an AI agent that answers and resolves conversations itself and hands off to your team when needed. It's priced as a flat monthly plan with seats and AI replies included.
Can my team still chat live with visitors?
Yes. Your team can take over any conversation from the inbox, and the agent hands off automatically when a person is needed, with the full context attached.
Can I bring my existing data over?
Yes. You import your knowledge as help articles, documents, or PDFs, and export existing tickets from your current provider to import into Bund AI. Nothing is stored in a proprietary format that makes a future switch harder.
What happens to my data?
Bund AI runs on our infrastructure, and conversation history and customer data live in your account there. For AI answers, that request is sent to a language model provider under contract; you can export your data at any time.
