Captiwate vs Docket

Let AI answer. Let a human close.

Docket puts an AI agent on your site that answers product questions, qualifies visitors and books a meeting for later. Captiwate identifies who is on the page and lets a rep chat, call or video-call them right now — with AI chat covering the hours nobody is online.

Where Captiwate is different

A human picks up the high-intent visitor

Docket’s agent runs the whole conversation itself — it answers, qualifies, routes and books a meeting for later, and escalates to a person only when a question falls outside its approved knowledge. Captiwate identifies the visitor and then a rep chats, calls or video-calls them while they’re still on the page, with AI chat covering the hours nobody is online.

Live video and co-browsing, not just a booked slot

Docket’s best outcome is a meeting on the calendar with conversation context synced to the CRM. Captiwate lets that meeting happen now: one click opens a live video call or a co-browsing session on your site, and scheduling is there for the visitors who would rather pick a time.

Same visitor bands, less than half the price

Both vendors price on monthly visitors with unlimited seats, and the bands line up: up to 20,000, 20,000–100,000 and 100,000+. Docket’s Growth plan starts at $3K/month billed annually ($36,000/year) and Scale at $4K/month ($48,000/year). Captiwate is $15,000/year and $30,000/year for the same bands — with identification, live chat, video, AI chat and scheduling included.

Feature comparison: Captiwate vs Docket

Docket is an AI-first agent: it talks to every visitor by text or voice, qualifies them and books the meeting. Captiwate starts by identifying the visitor and puts a human rep in the conversation, with AI chat filling in when nobody is online.

Can I migrate from Docket to Captiwate?

Bring your current Docket personas and routing rules to a 30-minute walkthrough on your own website and leave with a plan.

How does Docket pricing compare to Captiwate’s?

Both are annual, priced on monthly visitors, with unlimited seats and conversations. Docket’s Growth plan starts at $3K/month billed annually — $36,000/year — for up to 20,000 monthly visitors, Scale starts at $4K/month ($48,000/year) for 20,000–100,000 visitors and Enterprise is custom above that (as listed on docket.io/pricing, 2026-09-04). Captiwate uses the same bands at $15,000/year (Grow), $30,000/year (Scale) and custom (Unlimited), with identification, live chat, video, co-browsing, AI chat and scheduling included.

Is Docket the same company as DocketAI, the “AI Sales Engineer”?

Yes. docketai.com now redirects to docket.io, and Docket’s own Series A post (July 2024, $15M led by Mayfield and Foundation Capital) carries a June 2026 note that the company has evolved from a revenue enablement platform into an agentic marketing platform. The website agent — now the “AI Marketing Agent” or “Inbound Demand Agent”, with the invitation-only Frameless form factor announced on August 13, 2026 — is the product this page compares.

Does Captiwate have an AI agent like Docket’s, and does Docket hand off to humans?

Captiwate includes AI chat on every plan: it answers questions, qualifies visitors and books meetings around the clock, and a rep can take over in chat, on a video call or in a co-browsing session the moment a high-intent visitor is on the page. Docket’s agent runs the conversation itself by text or voice in 40+ languages and, per its FAQ, escalates to a human when a question is outside its approved knowledge; a live chat, call or video product for reps is not listed on its pages.

Is there a free trial?

No, a free trial is not available today. We offer a fully customized demo built around your website, so you can see how Captiwate would work on your live site before committing.

Do I need a developer to set up Captiwate?

No. Adding Captiwate is a single JavaScript snippet, similar to Google Analytics. Our team handles the full setup and most customers are live within minutes — no engineering resources required.
