Four tiers, priced by AI replies per month, and the cheapest ladder in this category. Free: 50 AI replies a month, replies in one language you select, answers drawn from your FAQs, policy pages and product data, translated storefront widget, product finder and usage tracking. Starter $4.99 a month: 500 replies, automatic shopper-language detection across up to three languages, translated replies, product recommendations and best sellers.
Four tiers metered on AI replies a month, re-read on apps.shopify.com/asknest-ai-faq-product-bot on 19 September and 28 September 2026 and unchanged since 19 August. Free gives 50 replies a month. Starter is $4.99 for 500, Growth $9.99 for 1,500, Pro $19.99 for 5,000. Charges are billed in USD every 30 days. No paid tier advertises a trial, which makes sense here: the free plan is the trial, and at these amounts picking the wrong rung costs five or ten dollars rather than five hundred.
The listing does not say, on any tier. There is no overage rate published anywhere on the page, so whether reply 501 costs money or simply does not arrive is unknown until it happens -- and on a storefront widget, "does not arrive" means a shopper gets silence. Ask support in writing before you rely on it. It matters most at the free end: 50 replies a month is roughly two a day, so a single busy afternoon can exhaust a month.
Seven, and "any language" is not on offer: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Brazilian Portuguese for customer-facing replies and widget labels. How you get at them differs by tier. On Free you pick one reply language and every shopper gets that one. Starter detects the shopper’s own language across up to three, and Growth and Pro open all supported ones. So the step from free to $4.99 is not about volume at all -- it is automatic language detection, which is worth nothing if your traffic is one country and is the whole reason to pay if you sell into several.
No -- not on any tier. There is no live handover, no ticketing and no shared inbox in this app. It reads your saved FAQs, your Shopify policy pages and your catalogue and answers from those, so when a shopper asks something outside them, the conversation ends where the widget ends. Decide up front where that shopper goes next and make the route visible in the widget itself; your own contact page has to carry what the app will not.
Judge it on evidence rather than adjectives. Look for a published security page, single sign-on and role controls on the plan you would actually buy (they are often gated to higher tiers), a status page with real incident history, and a clear answer on where your data is stored. If the tool will hold anything sensitive, those four answers matter more than any feature comparison.
