How Crisp and Flodesk compare

Crisp is a shared inbox that small teams can afford. Live chat, email, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram land in one place, with chatbots, a knowledge base, campaigns, a CRM, and MagicReply AI to speed answers. It is priced per workspace rather than per seat, which is rare and kind.

Flodesk made email marketing pretty and easy to stay in. Gorgeous templates, an editor designers enjoy, workflows, forms and link-in-bio pages, and unlimited sends on every paid plan. Pricing now scales with active subscribers; anyone on the old unlimited plan keeps it. Flodesk Checkout adds simple sales pages. Small brands with taste pick it and stay.
