You want AI that resolves conversations (not just assists agents), plus ticketing, help centre and chat in one product — with EUR pricing, EU hosting and Dutch-speaking AI support.
Pick LiveChat
Pure live-chat excellence is the priority: best-in-class chat UX, SMS and Apple Messages channels, a huge integration marketplace, and chat-driven sales with revenue attribution.
The core difference
LiveChat is a per-seat chat product within a suite — AI resolutions are metered on newer plans and ticketing has historically been a separate product. CustomerEagle is one product: per-agent pricing with AI resolutions, ticketing and help centre included.

Support savings estimator
What would AI resolution save you?
Move the sliders to your numbers. The calculation is simple and yours to sanity-check: resolved tickets times handling time equals hours your team gets back.

Your CustomerEagle cost at this volume
€1,738
Net value freed per month
At this volume you'd pay about €689/month on Standard (3 seats + metered AI resolutions) — the calculation is right here, not behind a sales call.
Estimate only. This is the gross value of agent time freed up, before your CustomerEagle subscription — not a guaranteed cash saving. Actual results depend on how you redeploy that capacity and how much of your ticket volume is answerable from documented knowledge.
Deep dive
Everything else, one tab at a time.
Businesses comparing LiveChat alternatives usually hit the same questions: how many products do we actually need, what does AI really cost, and where does our data live?
Product count: on the legacy path, chat (LiveChat), chatbot (ChatBot), ticketing (HelpDesk) and knowledge base are separate products; the newer Text ladder bundles more, but both ladders are currently public. CustomerEagle is one product on one bill.
AI depth: LiveChat's bundled Copilot assists agents; autonomous AI-agent resolutions are metered per plan (10–200 per month included, then paid packs). CustomerEagle includes a resolution allowance per agent on every paid plan.
Localisation: pricing is in USD and no Dutch site was found at the time of checking; CustomerEagle prices in EUR, has a Dutch-language website, and its AI answers customers in Dutch automatically.
Data location: CustomerEagle's primary hosting is EU-based with a public DPA; LiveChat's hosting locations for EU customers were not found in the public documentation we checked.
AI that resolves, with sources
The AI answers from your approved content, shows citations, and hands off to your team when unsure. A monthly resolution allowance is included per agent — beyond it you pay only for conversations the AI genuinely resolved alone.
Chat, e-mail and tickets in one inbox
No separate ticketing product: chat, e-mail and social conversations land in the same shared inbox with assignment, internal notes, routing and SLA policies.
A help centre included, not a fourth product
From Standard, the built-in help centre serves your customers and feeds the AI at the same time — one piece of content powering self-service, AI answers and agent replies.
EU-first: hosting, currency, language
EUR pricing including a Free plan, EU-based primary hosting with a public DPA, a Dutch-language website and AI that answers your customers in Dutch — relevant when your customers and regulators are European.
What teams use CustomerEagle for
From reactive chat to resolved conversations
Instead of routing every chat to an agent, the AI resolves the repetitive share from your own content — with citations — and your team handles what genuinely needs judgement.
One inbox for chat and e-mail
Support that happens in chat by day and e-mail by night lands in the same queue, with the same routing, SLAs and history — no product boundary in the middle.
European webshops
EUR pricing, EU hosting, AI that answers in Dutch, and live order context from WooCommerce or Shopify with human approval on refunds.
Frequently asked questions
For most support teams, yes: chat, an AI agent grounded in your content, e-mail ticketing in a shared inbox and a help centre are one product. Be aware of what we don't offer: SMS and Apple Messages channels, and LiveChat's sales-oriented revenue attribution.
They are structured differently. LiveChat's bundled Copilot assists agents, and autonomous AI-agent resolutions are metered per plan on the newer ladder (10–200 per month included, then packs at about $0.99 per resolution). CustomerEagle includes a resolution allowance per agent on every paid plan, grounds answers in your approved content, shows sources, and only counts conversations the AI resolved alone.
Yes — €0 with no time limit and no credit card needed for the Free plan: 1 agent (up to 5), 1 shared inbox, and 25 one-time AI trial resolutions. LiveChat offers a trial rather than a permanent free plan.
Yes. The website is available in Dutch, the AI answers your customers in Dutch automatically, prices are in EUR, and primary hosting is EU-based with a publicly available data processing agreement.
The widget swap and e-mail connection are quick; knowledge content can be imported (built-in importers cover Zendesk, Intercom and Freshdesk; we help with other sources). Chat history cannot be imported — export what you need before cancelling.
Yes. Proactive rules can open the widget with a targeted message based on the page URL, time on page, scroll depth or exit intent, on a schedule you choose — and the AI answers instantly when the visitor replies.
Yes — from the Standard plan you can connect Shopify or WooCommerce; the AI answers order-status questions from live data with an email-match check, and order changes always queue for human approval.
