Trengo bills you for conversation volume. CustomerEagle bills for problems the AI actually solved — and only when it solved them alone.

CustomerEagle is not affiliated with Trengo. Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
Your support team wants AI answers grounded in your own content, human approval for sensitive actions, and pricing that starts free and scales per agent — not per conversation bundle.
You need very broad channel coverage — including voice calling, SMS and Telegram — in fixed user-and-conversation bundles, or you operate in Trengo's core verticals such as hospitality and travel.
Trengo prices communication volume: user bundles plus conversation allowances, with a per-conversation surcharge when AI is involved. CustomerEagle prices your team (per agent) and the AI's actual results (per resolution, with a monthly allowance included).

Move the sliders. Both figures come straight from the public pricing pages — no adjustments, no favourable rounding.
Trengo's bundles cover every conversation, not only the ones AI handles — so this compares only the AI-handled slice against the bundle you'd need, which understates Trengo's real cost. Prices exclude VAT.
4 agents · 100 resolutions included · 500 extra
€349 bundle · €18 extra conversations · €180 AI surcharge
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.
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.
Businesses evaluating Trengo alternatives usually weigh three things: how pricing scales, how AI usage is billed, and how much control they keep over what the AI says and does.
An AI that improvises is a liability in customer contact. CustomerEagle's AI answers only from content you approved — your help centre, knowledge base and store data — and shows where an answer came from. When it is not confident, it hands the conversation to a person instead of guessing.
There are no conversation caps or bundles. You pay per agent, an allowance of AI resolutions is included every month, and beyond that you pay only for conversations the AI genuinely resolved alone. If a customer comes back within 3 days and a person has to step in after all, the resolution is automatically reversed and credited.
The shared inbox, help centre (from Standard), SLA policies, routing and support analytics are one product on one bill. Your team sees customer context, leaves internal notes, and hands conversations to each other without switching tools.
Connect WooCommerce or Shopify (from Standard) and the AI answers where-is-my-order questions from live order data, protected by an email-match check. Refunds and order changes always queue for a person to approve.
Where-is-my-order, returns and product questions are answered from live store data and your own policies — with refunds queued for human approval, never executed by the AI.
A 2–10 person support team lets the AI take the repetitive questions and keeps the judgement calls. Routing, SLAs and internal notes keep the human side organised.
The AI detects the customer's language and answers in it — tuned for European languages — even when your knowledge base is written in just one language.
It depends on your team and volume, so we won't claim a blanket “cheaper”. CustomerEagle starts at €0 and prices per agent with AI resolutions included; Trengo starts at €299–349 per month for a 10-user bundle with 500 conversations, plus an AI surcharge per AI-handled conversation. For small and mid-sized teams the entry difference is large; compare both pricing pages for your own numbers.
Yes, with honest limits: the chat widget, e-mail and social channels are quick to reconnect, and we help you move your help-centre content and contacts. Conversation history stays in your old system — there is no ticket import.
No — CustomerEagle does not offer a voice or phone channel. If calling in the same inbox is a hard requirement, Trengo is the stronger choice on that criterion.
Web chat and e-mail on every plan, Facebook Messenger and Instagram DM from the Standard plan, and WhatsApp from the Professional plan — all in one shared inbox.
It answers only when it finds a confident match in your approved content. When it is unsure — or the request is sensitive, like a refund — it hands the conversation to your team's inbox with full context, or to a contact form outside business hours.
Yes — €0 with no time limit and no credit card needed for the Free plan. It includes 1 agent (up to 5), 1 shared inbox and 25 one-time AI trial resolutions. The help centre and store integrations start on the Standard plan.
