Check those rows against your own help centre
Corebee answers from the docs you already publish, with first answers in 5 minutes. $99/month flat while you judge it.
The objection
“I’d just be swapping Drift’s bot for yours.”
You will not. Corebee answers the repetitive questions from your own help docs — and the moment a customer asks for a person, or the answer falls below its own confidence threshold, the conversation goes to your team with the full context attached.
Where Drift is genuinely stronger is further down this page, in the rows our own comparison scores for them.
See it hand a conversation to a personAsk for a person at any point
The conversation hands over to your team with the whole thread attached.
The AI scores its own certainty
Every answer carries a confidence value. Below your threshold it escalates instead of guessing.
You set what it can and cannot say
Answers are grounded in your verified help docs and the rules you write for them.
It scores every answer, and it stops when the score drops.
The percentage on each reply is the model’s own confidence in what it just said. Under your threshold it does not guess — it hands the conversation to a person, with the thread intact.
Handoff threshold on this account: 60%
- CustomerWeb chat09:41
I ordered the wrong size and it already shipped. Can I swap it before it arrives?
- Corebee AI96% confidence09:41
Yes — a size swap can be started while the parcel is still in transit. I’ve opened the exchange form for order #10428 with the item pre-filled, and nothing is charged until the original is scanned back in.
- Corebee AI71% confidence09:42
Redirecting to a different address is usually possible while the parcel is at the local depot. Your standard-shipping policy covers that; for express it doesn’t state a cut-off, so I’m answering only the part I can source.
- Handed to your teamEscalated42% confidence09:43
This one asks for a refund outside the published return window, and I can’t find that decision written down anywhere.
Below the handoff threshold — passed to a person with the full thread, the order, and the sources checked.

Common Drift pain points
What teams tell us when they leave Drift, and the one thing that changes on each.
Enterprise-Only Pricing
Drift starts at $2,500/month with an annual contract — $30,000/year before add-ons. There's no self-serve option and no trial without a sales call.
With Corebee: 96% Cost Reduction. Drift charges enterprises $2,500/month for conversational marketing. Corebee delivers AI customer support — the thing you actually need — for $99/month.
Built for Marketing, Not Support
Drift's core value is capturing leads and routing prospects to sales. It's not designed to resolve customer support tickets or power a knowledge base.
With Corebee: Support-First, Not Sales-First. Drift is purpose-built for top-of-funnel lead capture. Corebee is purpose-built for post-sale customer support — the right tool for the job.
Long, Complex Implementation
Drift requires sales calls, procurement review, and weeks of onboarding with dedicated implementation teams. Not a self-serve tool you can set up in an afternoon.
With Corebee: Self-Serve in 5 Minutes. No sales demos, no procurement, no implementation teams. Sign up, connect your knowledge base, and start resolving tickets the same day.
Wrong Tool for the Job
If you need customer support, buying Drift is like buying a racecar to commute to work — impressive but completely mismatched to the task.
$500/ month
Corebee is $99/month flat. That is $401 a month you keep — $4,812 a year.
That $500 is your figure. The $99 is the only number we fill in.

Pricing
$99/mo flat
Drift bills $2,500+/month; Corebee is one flat price for every channel, every conversation and every seat — no per-resolution fee, no per-agent fee, no overage at the end of the month.
Shared inbox
The same conversation, filed
What your team opens afterwards — including the thread the customer asked to hand to a person, and who each one ended with.
Where Drift still wins
The table above scores ABM & sales routing, CRM integrations and revenue pipeline tracking for Drift.
If those decide how your team works, keep Drift. We would rather say it here than after you have moved.
Proof
What we will not claim
No customer count.
We do not publish how many companies use Corebee. We are early, and a number chosen to sound larger than it is would be the only thing you remembered.
No resolution rate.
We do not publish a deflection or resolution percentage. It depends on your own help docs and your own questions, so ours would tell you nothing about yours.
No badge wall.
No award graphics, no review-site medals, no borrowed logos anywhere on this page.
Everything we will put a number on is on the right.
