Comparison

A tawk.to alternative for teams that outgrow free

tawk.to is genuinely free — unlimited agents, unlimited chats, and a whole support suite at $0. If that is all you need, use it; this page will not pretend otherwise. Conecto is for the moment free stops being the point: when you want an AI agent as the core of the product rather than a credit add-on, a voice agent that ships today instead of a waitlist, and performance numbers you can coach a team with.

Choose Conecto if…

  • You want the AI agent to be the product, not an add-on — trained on your site, citing sources, handing off with context
  • You want a voice agent visitors can talk to today — tawk.to’s is waitlist-only, from $49/mo plus usage
  • You coach with numbers: per-agent first response, resolution time and workload on Scale
  • You want the badge gone and AI included in one $25/mo plan instead of stacked add-ons

Choose tawk.to if…

  • You want $0 forever with unlimited agents and unlimited chats — nobody else offers this
  • You need ticketing, a knowledge base and a CRM without paying anything at all
  • You’d rather hire their trained human agents from $1/hour than staff chat yourself
  • The "Powered by tawk.to" badge doesn’t bother you

The honest arithmetic: tawk.to with the badge removed plus 1,000 AI messages a month runs $58–$68/mo in add-ons ($29–$39 branding + $29 AI Assist, each per property). Conecto Lite is $25/mo with no badge and $5 of AI credits included.

tawk.to publishes two branding-removal prices — $29/mo on its marketing pages and $39/mo (or $348/yr) in its help center — so both are shown here.

In fairness: tawk.to’s purchased AI credits carry over and never expire, and its core platform has no seat or volume limits at all.

Prices verified July 31, 2026 from tawk.to's add-ons page, help center and llms.txt — tawk.to has no unified pricing page. Check before deciding; plans change.

Where tawk.to genuinely wins

tawk.to has run since 2013, reports over 3 billion monthly widget interactions, and holds a 4.6/5 rating across 345 Capterra reviews. Where it beats Conecto today:

  • Truly free at unlimited scale — unlimited agents, chats, history and contacts, with no seat math ever
  • The free tier is a whole suite: ticketing, knowledge base, CRM with pipeline, form builder and omnichannel inbox at $0
  • Hired human chat agents from $1/hour — 24/7 trained coverage for about $728/mo, which nobody else sells
  • Channels: WhatsApp, Messenger, Telegram, SMS and Instagram in the free inbox
  • Install is trivial and there are native apps for iOS, Android, macOS and Windows

Why teams pick Conecto over tawk.to

AI as the product, not a meter

tawk.to’s AI Assist is a message-credit add-on bolted onto a 2013 platform. Conecto was built around the AI agent: it crawls your site, cites the article behind each answer, verifies email before sensitive lookups, and logs what every reply cost.

Voice that ships

tawk.to advertises voice agents from $49/mo plus usage — behind a waitlist. Conecto’s voice agent is live: visitors tap the orb, ask out loud, and the exchange lands in your inbox like any other conversation.

A product your team enjoys at 5pm

The most consistent themes in tawk.to’s own reviews are glitches, missed mobile notifications and a dated interface. Conecto is one modern product — widget, inbox, CRM and analytics designed together, with per-agent numbers when you’re ready to coach.
