vs. SmartBot, real numbers
Verified 2026-09-11
Vosaire's Starter plan includes 2,000 AI replies for $15.99/mo. SmartBot's Starter plan costs $30/mo — nearly double — while gating usage by product catalog size (500 products) instead of message volume.
The 32 capabilities below are real, seeded Vosaire features (see the full list further down this page) — not a neutral third-party checklist. SmartBot's 8 count comes from direct research into its own site and product docs — not just its thin Shopify App Store listing — verified 2026-09-11. A dash means no evidence was found, not a claim the capability is unavailable.

Only VosaireWorth knowing about SmartBot
- • SmartBot's paid tiers are gated by product catalog size (500 to 20,000 products), not by message or conversation volume — a different way of limiting usage than Vosaire's reply allowance.
- • SmartBot now has its own dedicated pricing page on bestchat.com, resolving an earlier sourcing gap — but a real Enterprise-only tier (~$680/mo, ~$544 annual) exists above Pro, and that's the only tier with API access or custom integrations, far above what Vosaire charges for the same capability.
- • Department routing and CSAT/satisfaction ratings, previously listed as SmartBot features, are no longer supported by its current Shopify listing or bestchat.com — either the product changed or the original claim was overstated from a thin listing.

SmartBot meters usage differently from Vosaire's AI-reply-based plans, so a direct cost-per-reply figure isn't apples-to-apples here — see the notes column above for how each plan is actually metered.
Where SmartBot might actually fit better
SmartBot's "unlimited chats" is capped by product catalog size instead, and real developer/API access is gated behind an Enterprise tier that costs more than 3x Vosaire's Pro plan. Vosaire's limit is transparent and predictable — a flat monthly reply allowance, whatever your catalog size, with API access included well below SmartBot's Enterprise price point.
When it's the better pick: If your store has an unusually large catalog and you'd rather be priced on product count than message volume, or you want a genuinely generous free tier (300 lifetime chats, no monthly reset) while validating the channel, SmartBot's model may map better to your situation.
