Engine by engine
Crisp vs Drift: what the data says
When buyers ask AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini to recommend live chat software, Drift is recommended more often than Crisp — scoring 22/100 for AI visibility versus 5/100. Drift shows up in 30% of AI answers to real buyer questions; Crisp shows up in 10%.
The gap is widest on ChatGPT, where Drift is clearly favoured: Crisp is recommended 20% of the time and Drift 40%. Because each engine draws on different sources, a brand can lead on one and trail on another — which is why it pays to track all three rather than assume one result holds everywhere.
In practice, an AI assistant asked “What are the best live chat software options for small businesses?” is more likely to put Drift on its shortlist. Crisp is largely invisible in AI answers for live chat software — and since these shortlists are increasingly where buying decisions start, that's a gap worth closing.
