Zotaro vs Elfsight AI Chatbot: conversations or page views?
Elfsight bills its AI Chatbot by monthly page views as one of 90+ embeddable widgets. Zotaro bills by actual conversations and covers WhatsApp and Telegram, not just your website.
Pricing below reflects Elfsight's own published pricing page as of mid-2026. Confirm current numbers at elfsight.com/ai-chatbot-widget/pricing before budgeting.
How does the billing model differ?
Elfsight's AI Chatbot is priced by page views — 200 free, then paid tiers starting around $6/month for 5,000 views — regardless of how many visitors actually open the chat. Zotaro is a flat monthly or annual price with unlimited conversations, so neither high traffic nor high chat volume changes your bill.
