A Userlike alternative with an AI agent on your own key
Userlike is now called Lime Connect – userlike.com redirects to connect.lime-technologies.com, where the product appears as “Lime Connect (ex Userlike)”. If you are reviewing your setup anyway, here is how asktrix compares: a flat plan where the AI agent Trix runs on your own API key.

The math
What live chat with an AI agent costs
asktrix: Trix is included from Start ($19.99/month, 2 seats). Team is $44.99/month for up to 6 seats and adds learning notes and quiet hours. On top: your AI provider's token costs, at their list price.
Lime Connect: the AI Agent can be booked from Pro, which starts at €87/month (annual) with at least 3 seats. With the AI Agent add-on at €99/month (100 conversations included), that is from €186/month before Copilot.
The difference
Where asktrix is different
AI on your own key. Trix uses your API key from Anthropic, OpenAI or another provider; you pay the tokens directly, without markup and without conversation packs. Lime Connect bills its AI Agent per conversation.
Small teams start small. Start ($19.99/month) works for two people and already includes email, a help center and Trix. No minimum seat count.
No conversation limits. No asktrix plan limits how many conversations you have; plans differ in seats, history and features.
Fair to say
When Lime Connect may fit you better
You want a German vendor. Lime Connect describes itself as German AI software for customer service.
You need an enterprise contract and industry solutions. Lime Connect offers an Enterprise plan and pages for specific industries such as energy, manufacturing and e-commerce.
