Should I switch?
Switch if free chat got you started but now feels too generic for your team or brand. Stay if zero software cost is still the deciding factor.
What do I lose?
- The free-first software model
- Built-in ticketing, CRM, and knowledge base breadth
- Optional hired-agent and AI Assist add-on path
What do I gain?
- A more focused small-team live chat experience
- Cleaner brand and buyer conversation positioning
- A workflow built around fast human replies
