Switch to ChatForge if...
- You built chatbot flows but customers still ask questions the bot can't handle
- You want AI that actually understands, not another decision tree builder
- You only need chat — not email, SMS, and social in one tool
- You're paying $95/mo for features you don't use
The Bottom Line
Crisp is a solid multi-channel tool with chat, email, and a chatbot builder. But the "AI" is really just decision trees you build yourself. ChatForge uses actual AI (Claude) that reads your website and answers questions intelligently. Same price range, fundamentally different technology.
