Where Crisp stands out
A broad messaging toolkit
Crisp combines website chat with shared email on paid plans. Essentials adds more messaging channels and a knowledge base. If customers already reach you across several social apps, those channel connections may be a deciding factor.
The Minnas approach
One place to pick up the conversation.
A customer writes in. You see the conversation, bring in a Teammate, and keep the answer moving. Add Messenger to your website and connect your store when order context helps. You can also publish help articles for the questions that come up again and again.
A thoughtful move
Try the fit before you switch.
01 / MAKE A SHORT LIST
Bring your real needs.
List the channels, store actions, and automations you use. Try your essential workflows in a new Minnas Workspace before moving customer traffic.
02 / BRING SOME HISTORY
Start with a small import.
Minnas accepts conversation CSV files under 10 MB with a name or email and message body. Exports may need reshaping. Test a sample; attachments, rules, and every original field will not automatically transfer.
03 / CHECK BOTH DIRECTIONS
Make the handoff carefully.
Reconnect email and store Channels, set up Messenger, and check incoming messages and outgoing replies. Keep access to your old history while you confirm the new setup.
Good questions
Before you decide.
Is Minnas always less expensive than Crisp?
