Which plan to pickStart on the 7-day trial and watch how fast credits go with your real traffic. Hobby works for a small site; most businesses with daily customer chats need Standard. Each extra agent is $300 a year, and removing the Chatbase badge is $1,188 a year.Run the free role-plays with two or three reps first. If they keep using them, Practice covers rehearsal; only pay for Perform if you do not already have Gong or another call recorder.Individuals should take Pro on the yearly plan; it is cheap and ten sessions a week is plenty.
