The fine print
All from LiveChat's own pricing page, Aug 5, 2026.The AI is a second subscriptionLiveChat sells chat; ChatBot sells the automation, from $52 a month billed annually, on its own plan ladder with its own limits. Two products, two bills, two places to configure the same customer conversation.
Every agent is a seatTeam is $59 per person a month, so a team of five is $295 before the bot. Invent charges for messages, not headcount, so adding teammates costs nothing.
Traffic is metered tooPlans cap tracked visitors at 100 on Starter and 1,000 on Business. A good month of marketing can push you up a tier without adding a single agent.
Chat history expires on StarterThe entry plan keeps 60 days of chat history. Conversations are your record of what you promised a customer, and on the cheapest plan they age out.

Common questions
How much does LiveChat cost?
On monthly billing Starter is $25 for one user, Team is $59 per agent and Business is $89 per agent. The ChatBot AI product is billed separately.
Is the AI chatbot included with LiveChat?
No. LiveChat includes AI writing assistance for your human agents, but the bot that answers customers on its own is ChatBot, a separate product from $52 a month billed annually.
Which is better, Invent or LiveChat?
LiveChat is a refined live chat product with a long track record, and if you mostly want humans chatting on a website it does that beautifully. Invent is built the other way round: the AI answers first across WhatsApp, Instagram and the web, and humans step in when it matters.
Does Invent charge per agent?
No. Invent is $29/mo for the workspace with unlimited teammates in the shared inbox.
How do I migrate from LiveChat?
Book a short migration call. We install the widget, import contacts and canned responses, and rebuild your bot flows as agent instructions.
