When should you use each?
Tawk.to is a good fit when…
- You want a genuinely free, no-frills chat widget for any website
- Paying to remove branding or to hire agents fits your needs
- You don't need Shopify revenue data or a product portal
- Basic chat and a simple knowledge base are all you need
Convot wins when…
- You build Shopify apps and want MRR, plan, and LTV beside every conversation
- You want a roadmap, changelog, status page, and scheduling, not just chat
- You want AI that escalates frustration, grades QA, and attributes churn
- You'd rather not pay to remove someone else's branding

What changes when you move to Convot
Revenue beside every thread
Every conversation shows the merchant's plan, MRR, LTV, and churn risk, pulled live from the Shopify Partner API. You stop treating all merchants the same and start protecting the ones who matter most.
AI that closes the churn loop
When a merchant uninstalls, Convot's AI examines the support history and tells you whether support was the cause, a signal no other tool can produce, so you fix the right thing.
Many tools become one
Chat, shared inbox, help center, changelog, roadmap voting, status page, scheduling, and a Shopify MRR dashboard, all under one login, one brand, and one bill instead of five subscriptions.
Built for Shopify app teams
Convot is purpose-built for the 1–10-person teams behind Shopify apps, Shopify-native (CORS for *.myshopify.com out of the box), revenue-aware, and live in minutes.
