Move from Crisp to Assistify

Your knowledge base, website chat and integrations can move during the free trial. Past conversations stay in Crisp.

  1. 1

    Knowledge base

    Add your Crisp knowledge base’s address. Aiva answers from its pages at once, and your team can import the pages as articles.

  2. 2

    Webchat

    Replace the Crisp chatbox code with the Webchat script, or follow the steps for your store platform.

  3. 3

    Integrations

    Connect your store with its API credentials, and your own systems through the custom API integration.

  4. 4

    Conversation history

    Past conversations stay in Crisp, which exports their messages through its REST API. Assistify’s record starts with the first conversation on Webchat.

Questions about switching from Crisp

Can I move my Crisp knowledge base to Assistify?

Yes. Add the knowledge base’s address as a website, and Aiva answers from its pages right away. Your team can then import the pages as articles and publish them in Assistify’s hosted help center, which comes with Business.

Can I bring my Crisp conversation history?

No. Crisp exports conversation messages through its REST API, and Assistify does not import conversations. Contacts appear in Assistify when customers write to your team or your website identifies them.

How does Aiva’s billing differ from Hugo’s?

Assistify counts each conversation Aiva answers once, whatever its length, against the conversations your plan includes, then charges €0.45 on Pro or €0.30 on Business for each further one. Crisp’s AI credits are token-based, so a longer conversation uses more, and Crisp estimates a conversation at $0.05 to $0.10.

Are both products hosted in the EU?

Yes. Assistify runs in the European Union on every plan, and Aiva’s replies are generated by AI providers in the United States under Standard Contractual Clauses. Crisp keeps its messages in the Netherlands and its plugin data in Germany.

Can customers write to us on Discord?

With Assistify, yes: Aiva answers in your server’s tickets, in threads and when mentioned, and your team replies from the inbox. Crisp’s own Discord integration lets your team answer Crisp conversations from a Discord channel.

Which Crisp features have no equivalent in Assistify?

Email, WhatsApp, Instagram, SMS and phone channels, native mobile and desktop apps for the team, chat SDKs for mobile apps, email, SMS and WhatsApp campaigns, co-browsing, video calls and a hosted status page.

Which product costs less for my team?

At monthly billing, Crisp costs less for the team sizes on this page, because its workspace price includes up to 10 seats on Essentials. Assistify’s Pro plan includes 250 AI conversations a month, against about 90 on Crisp’s Mini by Crisp’s estimate.

Can I try Assistify before leaving Crisp?

Yes. The 14-day trial includes Aiva and every add-on without a card, and the Free plan keeps Webchat and the shared inbox for 2 seats with no time limit. See pricing
