| Pricing | $59 per agent/month on the vendor's own pricing calculator (G2 lists editions starting at $100; TrustRadius still lists $29/user/month — sources conflict) · free tier: No free plan documented. G2's pricing listing states a free trial is offered and separately shows a 14-day free trial. | Not published · free tier: A "Start for free" entry point exists on the Contentsquare Heap page, but its limits are unverified |
| Pricing model | Per-seat subscription plus per-conversation AI charges; the model appears mid-transition and public sources have not converged | Custom |
| Best for | Shopify and WooCommerce DTC brands of roughly 2–20 agents who are currently paying Gorgias or Zendesk prices, have heavy repetitive WISMO and returns volume, and will actually spend the hours configuring the free self-service portal where the documented deflection wins come from. | Product or growth teams that want quantitative analytics plus qualitative session replay, heatmaps and surveys from one vendor, prefer autocapture over rigorous event schemas, and are comfortable buying into Contentsquare's wider experience-intelligence suite. |
| Avoid if | Avoid Richpanel if you are buying primarily for hands-off autonomous AI resolution and cannot pilot it on your own ticket mix first, if you sell across Amazon, eBay, Walmart or TikTok Shop and need those in one inbox, if you need a wide catalogue of non-commerce integrations, or if you need budget certainty at signature — the public pricing is inconsistent and the model appears mid-transition to per-conversation billing. | You specifically wanted independent, engineering-first Heap, or you need published self-serve pricing you can budget against without talking to sales. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
