 Each column represents independently configured projects with the same answering team. A duplicated widget across domains is a different scenario. “Plan limit” means the named plan does not cover the selected setup. This is a subscription estimate, not a feature-equivalent quote or a ranking. No currency conversion, AI usage, taxes, overages or discounts are included.

 BEFORE YOU COMPARE 

## Four ways the bill can grow.

### People

 A per-seat plan grows with the answering team. A bundle may include more seats than you need. Orka’s displayed plan is the smallest that fits the chosen team size.

### Projects

 A workspace subscription may repeat for each separately configured product. Some vendors already include several sites. Domain count alone does not tell you the cost.

### Resources

 Help centers, inboxes or branding options can have their own limits and fees. Here, Help Scout allocates one inbox and one Docs site to each project.

### Usage

 Tickets, replied conversations, AI messages, resolutions and tokens are different units. Add a realistic month of usage to the base subscription.

## Billing assumptions & sources.

 Prices were referenced on 18 October 2026; this resource was edited on 19 October 2026. These are Orka’s calculations using vendor documentation, not bills from an independent customer test.

### Orka

 Unlimited projects. Plan chosen for the number of people. AI starts on Pro; usage is separate.

[Orka plans ↗](https://orka.chat/pricing)

### Crisp

 Each separate workspace has its own subscription. One shared widget on several domains can remain in one workspace. Catalogue totals exclude eligible multi-workspace discounts.

### Intercom

 Separate monthly workspaces are billed separately. Expert also offers multiple brands within one workspace; a shared setup or a negotiated contract can change the total.

### Gleap

 Starter covers one seat and one project. Team and Pro include unlimited seats and projects in one subscription; AI usage and other metered services are additional.

### Help Scout

 One account can contain several inboxes and Docs sites. This estimate allocates one inbox, one Docs site and one Beacon to each project: extra inboxes are $12/month and extra Docs sites $24/month on monthly billing. Sharing them lowers that cost. Standard allows five Beacons; Pro has a ten-user minimum.

### Chatra

 Unlimited websites are listed in the plan. The subscription grows with agents, not website count.

### Commslayer

 Multiple Shopify stores share one plan with no charge for connecting more stores. Conversation and AI usage still determine the bill.

### tawk.to

## Budget questions, with the units attached.

 Still wondering about something? [Ask a human at Orka ↗](mailto:hello@orka.chat)

 How much does live chat cost for multiple websites? + It depends on the billing unit. Orka includes unlimited projects; Crisp bills each separate workspace; other tools include several projects or charge for resources and usage. Select the same team and compare the exact configuration rather than multiplying every provider by the number of domains.

 What does Crisp cost for three separate workspaces? + At the referenced Essentials price of US$95 per workspace per month, three separate subscriptions total US$285 before discounts, taxes and usage. One shared Crisp widget across several domains is not three separate workspaces.

 Is a free chat plan enough for an indie hacker? + It can be if its seat, conversation and feature limits fit. Orka Free covers one person and unlimited projects. tawk.to has a free core chat product. Check the requirements that would make you upgrade, including AI, branding, search and collaboration.

 Are the tools in this table equivalent? + No. The named plans have different seat allowances, channels, knowledge tools and usage limits. Use the table to understand billing, then read the linked comparison and test the features you need.

 Why are some prices in euros and others in dollars? + Orka publishes its plans in EUR; the competitor references used here are in USD. We preserve those currencies instead of implying a fixed exchange rate or a universal savings percentage.

 May I reuse the table in my own article? + Yes. Download the CSV and include the named plans, currencies, assumptions and reference date. Link to this page so readers can inspect the sources. Check current vendor terms before making a purchase recommendation.
