Zoho SalesIQ alternative

A Zoho SalesIQ alternative priced per workspace, not per operator

MagizAI is a Zoho SalesIQ alternative priced per workspace instead of per operator. One plan covers the AI chatbot, the live inbox and your team's seats. Zoho SalesIQ charges for each operator, lists its Answer Bot on the Enterprise plan, and has a free plan, which MagizAI does not. Here are the plans side by side, with sources.

Its pricing page also lists Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, LINE and WeChat as channels, and a free plan with 3 operator licenses and 100 operator chat sessions a month. MagizAI has no free plan and no calls.
