Agiloft vs LiveAgent
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Agiloft and LiveAgent — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Agiloft vs LiveAgent: at a glance
What is Agiloft?
Agiloft is on Release 33 with a steady core/connected-services cadence — feed signal is thin past the version number.
The tracked entries are dominated by scraped release-notes index and cadence boilerplate (Core Platform on a February/July/November functional cadence with monthly maintenance, plus monthly Connected Services). The substantive crumb in the window is that Release 33 has shipped (entry references the move from Release 32), and a UX modernization adding live partial-match typeahead on common field types is visible in the content body of one entry.
What is LiveAgent?
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch adds Mistral and Gemini, live call transcription and message translation.
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch arrived with a large feature batch: Mistral AI as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for ticket summaries and translation, live call transcription with speaker attribution, and on-demand translation of inbound messages. It also adds a Deskpro migration plugin and plan limits on event, time and SLA rules. The releases since are fix-only, mostly around chat widget errors and API gaps.

Agiloft
5.0SUPPORT
Agiloft is on Release 33 with a steady core/connected-services cadence — feed signal is thin past the version number.
◆ Current state
The tracked entries are dominated by scraped release-notes index and cadence boilerplate (Core Platform on a February/July/November functional cadence with monthly maintenance, plus monthly Connected Services). The substantive crumb in the window is that Release 33 has shipped (entry references the move from Release 32), and a UX modernization adding live partial-match typeahead on common field types is visible in the content body of one entry.
◆ Where it's heading
Agiloft is operating like a mature enterprise platform — predictable release calendar, monthly maintenance, incremental UX modernization on field types. Whatever AI/CLM-AI work is in motion isn't visible through this feed shape. The product is being shipped, but the changelog scraper is mostly catching index pages rather than the meaningful per-feature notes.
◆ Prediction
Realistically the next visible move will be Release 34 with the July functional bundle, plus Connected Services rollouts each month between now and then. The bigger question — whether Agiloft has an answer to the agentic-CLM motion at Ironclad and Sirion — can't be read out of the current feed.
LiveAgent
6.3SUPPORT
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch adds Mistral and Gemini, live call transcription and message translation.
◆ Current state
LiveAgent's 5.70 branch arrived with a large feature batch: Mistral AI as an EU-hosted provider, Gemini and OpenAI for ticket summaries and translation, live call transcription with speaker attribution, and on-demand translation of inbound messages. It also adds a Deskpro migration plugin and plan limits on event, time and SLA rules. The releases since are fix-only, mostly around chat widget errors and API gaps.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI layer is turning multi-provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini and Mistral now sit side by side, with retired OpenAI models migrated automatically. Voice and translation are where that layer is being applied first. The paired 5.69 and 5.70 releases on the same day show two branches being maintained in parallel.
◆ Prediction
Expect message translation to move past its 'Stage 1' on-demand scope, likely toward outbound or automatic translation. Further 5.69/5.70 fix pairs are likely in the meantime.
