Frequently asked questions

Yes, for website chat — and it goes further on social channels: Facebook Page comments, personal Zalo and Pancake land in the same inbox. It does not connect WhatsApp, SMS or email, which tawk.to does.

tawk.to's chat is free, with paid add-ons such as AI Assist and branding removal. 2pm.space has no paid tier at all; you pay only for the AI model usage of the agent's replies, at the provider's rate.

Both can. On tawk.to the AI is the AI Assist add-on. On 2pm.space every channel can have an AI agent that uses your documents, catalogue and tools, with a Pause AI switch on each thread.

Conversations start fresh on a new widget. Customer records can be imported into 2pm.space from a spreadsheet, so returning customers are recognised.
