Espressive served enterprises well, but post-acquisition changes have created challenges. Discover why Workativ is the preferred alternative for organizations seeking agility, transparency, and true operational ownership.
Unlike Espressive's opaque enterprise pricing that can spike unpredictably, Workativ offers transparent, session-based pricing starting at $0. Know exactly what you'll pay as you scale no surprises, no hidden costs.
While Espressive implementations take months and require heavy technical involvement, Workativ's no-code AI Agent Studio lets you go live in hours. Upload knowledge, build workflows, and deploy across channels all without developers.
Espressive focuses on ticket deflection through Q&A. Workativ goes further our AI agents complete end-to-end workflows like password resets, access provisioning, onboarding, and approvals directly within conversations.
Espressive's rigid workflows make updates risky and time-consuming. Workativ's modular design lets you modify workflows independently update one step without breaking the entire flow, enabling continuous improvement.
While Espressive excels in IT, expanding to HR, finance, and operations often requires heavy customization. Workativ is purpose-built for cross-functional automation from day one one platform for IT, HR, and beyond.
After Espressive's acquisition by Resolve, customers face pricing changes and narrowed focus. Workativ remains independent, customer-focused, and committed to rapid innovation without acquisition-driven disruptions.
