Corebee is the best LiveAgent alternative for SaaS teams that want AI-first support instead of a traditional helpdesk. Get AI-powered 86% auto-resolution at $99/month on Pro instead of per-agent pricing with no AI and a dated interface.

Auto-resolution rate reflects up to 86% of conversations resolved by Corebee AI on a well-populated knowledge base; results vary by content coverage and question mix.

Why teams leave LiveAgent

The three complaints that come up most — and what Corebee does about each one.

Pricing that punishes growth
No modern AI capabilities — relies on canned responses and basic automation rules
With Corebee

AI resolves 86% of tickets before they reach an agent — LiveAgent cannot

AI that talks but can't act
Interface feels dated compared to modern support tools built in the AI era
With Corebee

Modern, clean interface designed for today's SaaS support workflows

Features hidden in higher tiers
Per-agent pricing scales linearly — 10 agents on Medium plan costs $350/month
With Corebee

Pro at $99/month regardless of team size vs LiveAgent's per-agent scaling

What the AI actually does

The one axis that decides whether support headcount goes up next year.

Corebee: included in Pro ($99/mo)

Conversational AI resolves 86% of conversations autonomously. Auto-learns from knowledge base via RAG. Included in Pro at $99/month pricing.

LiveAgent — priced separately

No conversational AI capabilities. Uses rule-based automation and canned responses. Support relies entirely on human agents being available to respond.

Questions people ask before switching

Straight answers, including where Corebee is the wrong tool.

Nothing here needs a call to check. The $99 Pro line and the handoff are both live in the trial.

Start free — no card
Does Corebee have call center features like LiveAgent?

Corebee Pro includes an AI phone agent that answers calls, books appointments, and hands off to a real person. It is not a full human call center, so if you need IVR routing and live agent call queues, LiveAgent may be a better fit. For SaaS teams primarily using chat and email, Corebee's AI provides faster, more scalable support.

Can Corebee handle the ticket volume LiveAgent manages?

Yes. Corebee's AI handles 86% of conversations automatically, meaning your team only manages the remaining 30%. This typically results in faster resolution times and higher customer satisfaction.

How does pricing compare for a 10-person team?

LiveAgent Medium plan at $35/agent for 10 agents costs $350/month without AI. Corebee Pro costs $99/month with AI included and unlimited team members, saving you $250+/month.
