Ask HN: What is the service that provides the customer support chat popup?

1 pointsby anondonover 8 years ago
I noticed this on Udacity, Cloudbric and many smaller sites.<p>A chat box pops up in the bottom right corner of the screen where you can chat with a customer service rep.

There are hundreds of companies that provide this ranging from free to very expensive. This product category is called: Live Chat software.<p>Here&#x27;s a list of many providers: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-are-the-best-live-chat-solutions-for-websites" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.quora.com&#x2F;What-are-the-best-live-chat-solutions-...</a> .

Crisp does that, and is able to integrate with Slack to reply to visitors - in addition to its Web dashboard.<p>Website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crisp.im&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crisp.im&#x2F;</a><p>Disclosure: I am the co-founder.

Intercom.io - very popular, no free plan<p>Drift.com - similar to intercom, has a free plan<p>Tawk.to - never used it, but my carrier does

Tawk.to is free and good. Also does pretty solid analytics.
