Chili Piper Alternatives, Including AI Chat Options (2026)
Chili Piper is a strong router and scheduler, and now has chat AI on its higher plan. Whether you need an alternative depends on which of those jobs you're buying it for.
Quick answer
For cheaper routing and scheduling, compare RevenueHero (from $79/mo plus seats) and Default ($12,000/yr plus seats). LeanData suits complex Salesforce routing, and HubSpot Meetings covers simple HubSpot scheduling. To qualify visitors in chat before booking, without Chili Piper's $42,000 Scale plan, look at Docket, Breakout or QualifyLoop.
What Chili Piper costs
Its pricing page lists Growth from $15,000 a year with 15 seats and Scale from $42,000 a year with 30 seats, billed annually. Scale adds 24/7 Chat AI, voice and video options, and company identification.

RevenueHero is the most affordable published option, though it has no free trial and several advanced features are marked as coming soon. Default bundles enrichment and workflows. LeanData is built for complex Salesforce orgs. See our lead routing comparison.
If you want qualification before booking
Forms ask a fixed set of questions, then route. An AI agent can have a conversation first, which suits visitors who aren't ready to fill in a form. Docket can book through Chili Piper, so you can add it without replacing your router.
Where QualifyLoop fits
QualifyLoop asks a few discovery questions in chat and books a real slot before the visitor leaves. It suits a small team, because it books on one connected Google Calendar. It won't replace Chili Piper for a multi-rep team needing round robin or territories. Honest limits: it's early-stage, the agent asks fixed discovery questions and isn't trained on your product, it books on one Google Calendar per workspace, playbooks choose AI or your team rather than a named rep, and scores top out at warm without paid company data.
