Read on oct8ne.com/it on 15 October 2026; quotes translated from their Italian page. Oct8ne does not publish prices, so we do not compare them here. Ours are ex VAT.
A customer asks whether the 42 runs small. If the product sheet does not say, no assistant can know it. It answers around the question, and you find out later, from the return.
This is not a flaw in any one product. It is the job that does not come with the conversation: someone has to write the sheet and keep the stock honest. In Uptonica that someone is the same AI that answers.
The assistant answers, and the same data writes the product sheets, feeds the campaigns and lands in the CRM.
We have run marketing for the brands you can see below, for years. Uptonica was built inside that agency and used on our own clients before it was sold to anyone.
18,000 AI credits a month on Starter, spent wherever you need them that month: replies, product sheets, images, email.

Honest take
If your job is selling in chat, looking at products together with the customer, Oct8ne goes deeper than we do: shared view of images and video, video calls, and from the Pro plan the cart filled by the operator. For many stores it is simply the right tool.
What stays is the part no conversation product sells: the catalog it has to quote. That is the work we do.
Yes, and for some that is the right call. Keep what you have and let Uptonica put the catalog underneath in order. If the answers improve on their own, you have learned where the problem was.
Our team, through a guided start called Tonic Sprint. On Starter it is bought separately from the subscription, and the larger plans include more of it. It takes about two weeks, and we import your catalog before we talk about price.
Yours, and you can export it. Monthly stops when you stop. On annual our pricing page offers 30 days to get your money back; ask us to put the exit terms in writing before you sign, as you should with anyone.
The free audit reads your store and shows what an assistant would have to work with today. No call needed to get it.
