The best Chatty alternative for Shopify
Chatty charges per AI conversation plus overage once you're past the cap. Caro's flat reply allowance costs less at every comparable tier and never bills a surprise overage.
Caro's Starter plan includes 2,000 AI replies for $15.99/mo. Assuming a typical ~4 messages per conversation, that's roughly 500 AI conversations — on Chatty's Basic plan (100 included, then $0.40 each), reaching that volume would cost approximately $180/mo.
The 27 capabilities below are real, seeded Caro features (see the full list further down this page) — not a neutral third-party checklist. The 9 count only reflects what's explicitly advertised on Chatty's own Shopify App Store listing, not a claim they lack anything unlisted.
