For a Magento or Adobe Commerce store, the best fit ships an official Adobe Commerce Marketplace module, reads only your public catalog so B2B and login pricing stay protected, and behaves like an online salesperson that recommends and closes. Emporiqa meets all three. The ranking below scores it against named alternatives.

Ranking
- Emporiqa ships an official Adobe Commerce Marketplace module (Magento 2.4.4+, on-premise and Cloud), reads the public catalog only so login and B2B pricing stay behind login, recommends and closes, offers photo search, and works in 65+ languages.
- Looma connects to Magento through a product feed and recommends from your catalog. No official Marketplace module. No photo search.
- Gorgias is e-commerce native and recommends products, but its AI selling agent runs on Shopify. On Magento, Gorgias works as a helpdesk, so the AI selling agent is not available to a Magento store today (verify).
- Zendesk AI and Intercom Fin are built first to resolve support questions from help content. Confirm any storefront selling features for Magento with each vendor.
- Ada is enterprise support automation, quote-based, aimed at large support teams rather than the storefront.
- CHATTERgo offers an AI shopping assistant for Magento that recommends products. Confirm its exact install method, and whether it ships an official Marketplace module, before you decide.

Why these three criteria carry the most weight on Magento
- Official Adobe Commerce Marketplace module. A module reviewed by Adobe and built to install cleanly beats a script pasted into your theme, which becomes a maintenance and security question later. Emporiqa ships an official Adobe Commerce Marketplace module for Magento 2.4.4 and above, on-premise and Cloud. You install it, then click Connect.
- Public-catalog-only data safety. Magento stores carry B2B pricing and SKUs behind a login. Emporiqa reads public catalog data only, so a logged-out shopper cannot pull a negotiated price. The online salesperson never sees what sits behind login.
- Reads your full product range, then sells. A shopper asking for a specific spec should get a matching product, not a mixed-up catalog. Emporiqa reads your full product range, including products with options, across multiple storefronts, and behaves like an online salesperson: it recommends, handles objections, suggests variations and walks the shopper to checkout.
Pricing follows the same model as on every platform: $0 per month plus $0.25 per conversation, AI model cost included, $25 of signup credit (about 100 conversations) at first store creation. You pay when the salesperson talks to a shopper, with no per-seat fee and no annual lock-in. Languages: 65+. Photo search is included. Among the alternatives above, only Ada's marketing mentions visual search, and we could not confirm it as a shipped feature. Confirm with each vendor.
Live chat or an AI chatbot for Magento: what changes
Plenty of Magento owners search for a live chat module when the problem they want solved is a shopper asking a question and getting no answer. Live chat can answer that shopper, but only while a person sits at the keyboard. Most stores leave the chat unmanned after closing time, and the shopper comparing specs in the evening moves on without a reply.
An AI chatbot that knows your catalog answers on its own. It recommends matching products, handles objections and walks the shopper to checkout, at midday or past midnight. Emporiqa covers the live side too: from the dashboard inbox, any team member can join a conversation and type in the shopper's own thread, with the full history already in front of them. The shopper sees that someone is joining and can cancel it and keep talking to the chatbot.
So the choice is not chatbot or person. Set business hours and a timezone per store, and pick where alerts land: email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord or Google Chat. Outside those hours the chat takes an email address or a phone number instead. Team members are unlimited with no per-seat fee, and if the chat never talks to a customer, you never pay. Live chat that does not need you at the keyboard.
