What to know

Read the billing period carefully

As checked on September 19, 2026, LiveChat lists Starter at $19, Team at $49 and Business at $79 per user per month when billed annually. The monthly-billed figures shown are $25, $59 and $89 respectively. Enterprise is quoted separately. These are dated public prices, not a locked quote. Annual monthly-equivalent figures should not be presented as a cancel-any-month purchase; inspect the current checkout commitment and taxes.

What to know

Count accounts rather than simultaneous conversations

The pricing page says created users are billed even when they are not logged in. List the people who need access, including supervisors and occasional cover, and confirm their treatment before purchase. Do not assume two shifts can share one paid identity. Named accounts can also make ownership clearer. If a person leaves the team, review account access and the billing effect through the supported controls rather than assuming inactivity removes the charge.

What to know

Use one simple example without a forecast

At the listed monthly Team rate, three users would be $177 per month before taxes and other costs. That arithmetic does not say three users are necessary or that the tool will pay for itself. Replace the rate and count with your actual quote. Add a separate line for time spent answering, training, reviewing transcripts and maintaining approved responses. Keep those assumptions visible so a subscription comparison does not conceal the main operating expense.

What to know

Check features before choosing the lowest tier

Write down the settings your trial requires and verify their availability in the intended plan. Scheduling, routing and reporting needs can change the choice. Save the dated quote and successful trial configuration together. Avoid buying an annual commitment solely because its monthly equivalent looks lower before the workflow is proven. This page is a buying worksheet, not financial advice or a promise about future pricing, savings or customer conversion.

The evidence behind this buying guidance

This guide draws on LiveChat pricing — dated public offer. Merchant-controlled records describe the provider’s own capabilities, terms or standards; they do not independently validate those claims. These records do not establish independent confirmation of the product claims.

Verify any current price, plan limit, label direction, compatibility rule, or commercial term that would materially change the decision. The dated source ledger shows the underlying records so this conclusion can be checked and updated.
