Which should you choose?

Choose Shopify Inbox if...

You just need basic customer messaging and are not focused on conversion optimization. Shopify Inbox is free and works well for answering simple questions.

Choose Zoocx if...

You want AI that actively drives revenue, recovers abandoned carts automatically, and proves its ROI with real data — not just message counts.

Frequently asked questions

For basic customer messaging, Shopify Inbox works fine. But it does not use AI to guide shoppers through a purchase decision, recover abandoned carts, or track whether chat conversations actually result in revenue. If conversion is your goal, you will quickly run into its limits.
Technically yes, but most merchants replace Inbox entirely once they install Zoocx. Zoocx handles everything Inbox does — customer messaging, product questions — plus AI checkout assistance, cart recovery, and full revenue attribution.
Zoocx has a free plan with 100 AI sessions/month. The Pro plan at $79/mo adds cart recovery and advanced analytics. Shopify Inbox is free but does not offer AI-guided product discovery, cart recovery, or revenue attribution.
