Crisp charges a flat monthly price per workspace, billed in USD with VAT on top, and every plan includes unlimited conversations. A team of 2 fits the Free plan's 2 seats if it can live without full history, channels beyond chat and AI; a team of 2 that wants email and Hugo pays $45 for Mini. A team of 5 outgrows Mini's hard cap of 4 seats and pays $95 for Essentials, and a team of 10 pays the same $95, because Essentials includes 10 seats. Beyond that, Plus at $295 includes 20 seats and adds agents at $10 each a month; the compare table shows no extra-agent price on Essentials, while the limits article says operator limits can be raised there at prices shown only in the app. The [per-seat vs per-workspace guide](https://live-chat.reviews/en-us/guides/per-seat-vs-per-workspace-pricing) explains why flat pricing rewards growing teams, and [Crisp vs Intercom](https://live-chat.reviews/en-us/compare/crisp-vs-intercom) shows the contrast with a per-seat model.

## What it costs at 2, 5 and 10 seats

The cheapest published route on Crisp for three team sizes, from list prices. It is the same arithmetic as the free-plan audit tool; your bill may differ.

| Product | 2 seats · 100 conversations a month | 5 seats · 500 conversations a month | 10 seats · 2,000 conversations a month |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Crisp | Free (Free) | $95 a month (Essentials) | $95 a month (Essentials) |

_List prices in the vendor's own currency, billed monthly where the vendor offers it, otherwise the annual-billing rate. AI usage, taxes and discounts are not included._

The worked examples use Crisp's monthly prices, the only ones it publishes, treat Mini as capped at 4 seats, and leave out VAT and any Hugo Pay-As-You-Go usage beyond the included credits.

Crisp's Free plan documents 2 seats and unlimited conversations, the chat widget and contact form, conversation transcripts, mobile and desktop apps, chat SDKs, EU hosting and a DPA. It stops at 100 customer profiles, leaves out full conversation history (the window in days is not published), and includes no Hugo credits. Email, Messenger and Telegram start on Mini, WhatsApp and Instagram on Essentials, and the Crisp watermark comes off only on Plus. Canned responses, internal notes, file sharing and proactive messages are also missing. Crisp's paid-plan trial runs 14 days without a card, and its live chat page advertises up to 30 days when advanced features are configured.

## How the AI is billed

Crisp bills its Hugo AI agent in USD-denominated credits consumed per token, not per message or per resolution. Each paid plan includes a monthly allowance: $5 on Mini, $25 on Essentials and $75 on Plus, which the pricing page estimates at around 90, 450 and 1,350 automated conversations; Free includes none. Crisp's help center puts a full Hugo conversation at around $0.05–$0.10 and calls that only an estimate, and cost varies with conversation length, knowledge-source size, language and the model chosen. At the top of that range the included credits cover roughly half the advertised conversation counts, since those counts assume the low end. Tests, training and Playground use also consume credits, including during the trial, while workflows do not. When credits run out Hugo stops and conversations go to humans unless Pay-As-You-Go is switched on, and no Pay-As-You-Go rate card is published; credits reset on day 4 of each month. Crisp moved AI replies from free to this paid model in February 2026. The [AI billing guide](https://live-chat.reviews/en-us/guides/how-live-chat-vendors-bill-for-ai) compares credit billing with per-resolution pricing.
