Minimoes vs Convai: an honest comparison

Convai and Minimoes solve different problems in different ways, and the right choice depends on what you want your visitors to experience. Minimoes has one clear point of view: your AI should have a face. It is a 3D mascot that speaks and listens, trained only on your content, and able to act. It captures leads, books meetings, answers Shopify and Stripe questions and escalates to humans. It installs with one snippet, on flat monthly plans with a free tier. The table below compares the two on the points that matter most. Competitor prices and features change often. Ours were checked in October 2026, so always confirm on their site before deciding.

Where Minimoes is strongest

Presence

A talking character gets noticed where a text bubble gets ignored. A stylized mascot is also unmistakably your brand, and it avoids the uncanny valley of near-human faces.

Accountability

Answers come only from your content. Unanswered questions, missing content and contradictions are flagged. Frustrated visitors are escalated to a human with the full transcript.

Action

Booking, lead capture, Shopify, Stripe, Slack and webhooks are part of the product, triggered by what the mascot detects in the conversation, with no code.

When Convai might be the better choice

Be honest about your needs. If you need capabilities that are central to Convai and not to Minimoes, such as producing videos, a full human helpdesk inbox or deep custom flows, Convai may fit better, or the two can work side by side. If what you want is a branded AI front line that talks, sells and books on your site, app or stream, try Minimoes on the Free plan and compare with real traffic.
