Crisp

A customer-support/customer-engagement platform combining an omnichannel collaborative inbox, website chat, shared email inbox, support CRM, AI agent/automated conversations, workflow automation, and inbound-sales chat workflows. Product page evidence: "All inbound conversations from all channels go into one collaborative inbox"; "Keep information about your customers in Crisp's built-in CRM"; and "Built for customer support, marketing, and sales teams."

Use when: Small and growing SaaS, ecommerce, or online-service teams that want one relatively simple inbox for chat/email/social channels, lightweight customer context, automated support and lead capture, with predictable workspace pricing instead of seat-by-seat pricing.

Open source: YesSelf-hosted: YesPricing model: Flat subscription per workspace rather than per agent, with a free tier, 14-day trial, paid Mini/Essentials/Plus tiers, included AI credits/automated-conversation allowances, and custom-priced Enterprise. Pricing page evidence: "A flat pricing per workspace" and "you pay a single, consistent price regardless of the number of conversations you have each month." The fetched page lists Free, Mini, Essentials and Plus and AI-credit allowances of $0/$5/$25/$75; current displayed paid workspace prices are approximately $45/$95/$295 per month (verify at purchase because pricing can change).License scope: Hosted/cloud SaaS delivered through Crisp's web product, chat widget, mobile apps and SDKs; no self-hosted deployment or open-source license is advertised on the fetched product/pricing pages. This is an explicit product-format observation, not a claim about every underlying component's license.Subcategory: Omnichannel inbox, AI support, support CRMCompany Stage: Bootstrapped/self-funded; no venture capital (explicit company statement). This satisfies the requested bootstrapped/self-funded screen; no Series A/B-or-later evidence was found or relied upon.
