How to choose a Hourzero alternative
- Ask how the bot behaves when it is unsure. Refusing and escalating is a feature; guessing is a liability.
- Compare on resolution rate, not conversation count. Vendors price both ways and the cheaper unit is not always the cheaper bill.
- If you serve Indian customers, test the bot in Hindi and one regional language with real customer phrasing, including mixed script.
