Trengo

Trengo is a polished omnichannel platform: WhatsApp Business, email, voice, live chat and social channels flow into one team inbox with flowbots and AI add-ons. The honest tradeoff is per-user pricing that starts around €15-25/user/mo (5-user minimums on some tiers make the real entry cost €75+/mo), plus paid AI add-ons — a lot if you mainly need website chat and email.

Best for: Teams juggling WhatsApp, email, voice, and social DMs that want every channel in one inbox with per-user pricing.

Pricing: Trengo is per-user (roughly €15-25/user/mo billed annually, higher tiers more) and several plans carry user minimums, so a small team's real entry cost lands around €75-125/mo before AI add-ons.

HelpBird

Best for: Small teams that want website live chat + email in a shared inbox at a flat price, without per-user fees or channel add-on complexity.

Pricing: HelpBird is a flat $3/mo or $9/mo per site with unlimited agents — no per-user multiplier, no user minimums.
