Comparison

Sensbot vs Molin AI platforms, seats and the cap

Platform coverage, per-seat charges, and what happens when you hit the cap.

Sensbot runs ecommerce support in two places. The Email Assistant drafts a reply inside your own mailbox and an operator presses send. The Chatbot answers on your storefront. Both read live order, product and customer data from IdoSell, Shoper, Shopify or Upgates, so a question about order 5512 is answered with order 5512, not with a knowledge base article about shipping.

Molin AI is a store assistant sold on Shopify, Shoper, ShopRenter and Unas, with official plugins on all four and WooCommerce listed as coming soon. Molin AI Ltd is registered in London, and the centre of gravity is Hungary: the published testimonials and case studies are Hungarian or Hungary-operating. It prices on conversations per month with a product count cap as a second axis, and it leads with selling rather than support.

We overlap with them on Shopify and Shoper. IdoSell, which is where most of our installed base lives, is not on their platform list, and Upgates and IdoBooking are not either. This page sticks to published facts on both sides.

Competitor pricing and plan facts below come from a pricing and positioning scan we ran in August 2026, quoted in the currency each vendor publishes. Sensbot figures come from our own pricing page. Every cost calculation shows its arithmetic and rounds in the other vendor favour. Rows we could not confirm from a primary source say so instead of guessing, and nothing here is a claim about how well the other product works.

Green check: a capability we can verify on our own side. Grey check: a genuine advantage on theirs. No check means the row is descriptive, the two are level, or the answer is not covered by our source scan. A green check never means the other product lacks the feature, only that we could confirm ours.

The bill at real support volume

Start with where they are cheaper, because they are. At 500 conversations a month Molin Growth is $55 per month billed annually, plus $19 for a seat. That is less than our €129 Growth, and no amount of framing changes it.

Two things move as volume grows. Seats are $19 per month each on every paid tier, so a three-person support team adds $57 a month that a Sensbot plan does not charge. And below the Scale tier there is no overage: at the cap the chatbot switches off until you upgrade, which is a different kind of cost in the middle of a sale week.

At 2,500 conversations the arithmetic turns. Molin Scale is $119 per month billed annually plus $0.20 for every conversation above 1,250, so 2,500 conversations is $119 plus 1,250 times $0.20, which is $119 plus $250, or $369 per month before a single seat. Sensbot Chatbot Scale is €299 per month for 2,500 chats with no seat charges and no per-conversation fee. We have used their cheaper annual rate and zero seats to keep the comparison in their favour.

So the honest shape is a crossover: below roughly 500 conversations a month Molin is the cheaper line, and somewhere past their included volume the per-conversation fee, the seat fees and the switch-off behaviour move the advantage to a flat plan.

When Molin AI is the better choice

You are on ShopRenter or Unas. Molin has official plugins for both and Sensbot supports neither.
Your volume is modest. The free tier covers 25 conversations, Startup is $19 per month billed annually for 125, and at 500 conversations Growth at $55 plus a seat is below our €129.
You want a 14-day trial with no card and a low-cost setup service: $500 one-time for up to five hours plus a $200 per month retainer.
Your priority is selling rather than support. Molin leads with an assistant that helps convert, which is a different job from closing support tickets.

When Sensbot is the better choice

You sell on IdoSell. It is not on their platform list and it is the platform we know best, including orders, stock, returns and complaints.
You have real monthly support volume. This is the price and performance case: at 2,500 conversations their Scale tier works out at $369 per month before seats, against €299 flat here, and our plan has no per-conversation fee to add.
You have more than one person answering tickets. Seats are $19 each per month there and are not charged here at all.
You cannot afford the assistant to stop. Below their Scale tier the chatbot switches off at the cap; a Sensbot plan keeps a predictable monthly volume and you move up a tier deliberately.
You run several stores or languages today rather than later. Multi-store is listed as coming soon on all of their tiers, and it is how our multi-store customers already run.
You would rather buy from one vendor. The Chatbot on your storefront, the Email Assistant in your inbox, the FAQ Generator building a knowledge base out of your own emails, and Store Copilot for IdoSell operations from 159 PLN a month. Each has its own plan today, bundle pricing is on the roadmap, and we will put a combined plan together on request.
You would rather we ran it. Done-for-you starts at €390 per month: we set it up, tune it and keep it running across your stores and languages, with helpdesk, CRM and internal system integrations, full API access, priority support and SLA, and a named contact with a monthly review.

Common questions

Is Molin AI cheaper than Sensbot?

At low and moderate volume, yes. Their free tier covers 25 conversations, Startup is $19 per month billed annually for 125, and at 500 conversations Growth is $55 plus $19 per seat, all below our €129. The lines cross as volume grows: at 2,500 conversations Scale is $119 plus $0.20 for each conversation above 1,250, which is $369 per month before seats, against €299 flat at Sensbot Scale. Add $19 per seat per team member and the crossover arrives sooner.

Does Molin AI work with IdoSell?

IdoSell is not on their published platform list, which covers Shopify, Shoper, ShopRenter and Unas, with WooCommerce listed as coming soon. Sensbot has been built on IdoSell from the start, including orders, stock, returns and complaints, and is billed through your IdoSell admin.

What happens when I hit the conversation limit?

On Molin, below the Scale tier there is no overage and the chatbot switches off until you upgrade; on Scale, conversations above 1,250 cost $0.20 each. On Sensbot, each plan includes a monthly volume and you move up a tier when you outgrow it, with no per-conversation charge in between.

Do I pay per user with Sensbot?

No. Plans are priced on volume per product, not per seat, so adding a second or third person to your support team does not change the invoice. Molin charges $19 per seat per month on every paid tier, free only on Enterprise.

What else can I run on IdoSell from Sensbot?

All four products: the Chatbot on the storefront, the Email Assistant in your inbox, the FAQ Generator for building a knowledge base, and Store Copilot for operations from 159 PLN a month with a 30-day trial. Each has its own plan, bundle pricing is on the roadmap, and we will put a combined plan together on request.
