Most 'best chatbot' lists are affiliate roundups. This one is not. We installed each tool on the same WooCommerce demo store and measured the same KPIs over 30 days.
Evaluation criteria
- Native WooCommerce integration (no Zapier hacks)
- AI quality on real product questions
- Cart recovery effectiveness
- Time to first conversation
- Total cost at 5,000 monthly visitors
