Best chatbot for customer service: a scoring method you can repeat on your own queue
Every "best chatbot for customer service" list ranks tools nobody tested on your queue. This guide gives the scoring method instead: seven weighted criteria (own-data answers, honest declines, handover quality, channels, cost per contact, reporting, data handling), the candidates with their published September 2026 prices and units, what a service bot must never do, and where each tool fits by team size.
